Impact and considerations
Official figures show Brazil's international passenger and cargo growth outpacing domestic, with international cargo up 10.9%, signalling stronger cross-border air-freight demand; meanwhile domestic capacity grew 6.8% against 3.3% demand growth, which could pressure yields as airlines add seats.
