In 2019, the Brasília–Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport (BSB) completed 62 years of existence. Built to accommodate the Brazilian capital transfer from Rio de Janeiro (1956-1961), BSB was inaugurated on May 3, 1957, by the former president Juscelino Kubitschek (1955-1960). The first civil transportation airport in Brazil, however, backs to 1936, when Rio de Janeiro was the Brazilian capital, the Santos Dumont Airport (SDU), who lost importance gradually when the capital was transferred. Key findings pointed BSB as the third busiest airport in Brazil. BSB is also the first airport in Brazil to operate with two runways simultaneously (the second runway was inaugurated only in 2005). In 2012, BSB was granted for 25 years to Consortium Inframerica, formed by the Argentinean Group Corporación América (50 percent), and the Brazilian Engineering Group Engevix (50 percent). The consortium has invested BRL 1.2 billion until 2014. In 2015, a new terminal was inaugurated as well as runway and parking extension, reaching 17.5 million people transported in 2018 — analysis of civil aviation in Brazil and worldwide, and discussion complete the present article.
