“…Thus, our work is complementary to the (Pacheco and Fernandes 2003, Costa et al 2010, Oliveira et al 2013 We restrict our analysis to passenger flights operating according to the data provided in October 20, 2013 4 . As flights do not have significant changes, we can assume that we are using a stable view of the airline network, based on the weekly information.…”

The air transportation network in a country has a great impact on the local, national and global economy.In this paper, we analyze the air transportation network in Brazil with complex network features to better understand its characteristics. In our analysis, we built networks composed either by national or by international flights. We also consider the network when both types of flights are put together. Interesting conclusions emerge from our analysis. For instance, Viracopos Airport (Campinas City) is the most central and connected airport on the national flights network. Any operational problem in this airport separates the Brazilian national network into six distinct subnetworks. Moreover, the Brazilian air transportation network exhibits small world characteristics and national connections network follows a power law distribution. Therefore, our analysis sheds light on the current Brazilian air transportation infrastructure, bringing a novel understanding that may help face the recent fast growth in the usage of the Brazilian transport network.
