Abstract The objective of this study is to evaluate the determining factors influencing airline companies to operate international origin-destination (O-D) routes from different Brazilian airports. The results are based on a panel data model and support the assumption that statistically significant explanatory variables stem from gravity factors (GDP and an airport competition measure weighted by distance), hub-and-spoke variables and capacity inputs. We find that a composite variable made up by the airport capacity variables – given by the size of the terminal building and the length of runways – and its domestic connections have a positive effect on airport competitiveness. In conclusion, we find that not only well-known demand-side factors, but also supply-side variables – strategic decisions taken by airport management – matter in attracting international flights.

    Highlights Panel data model to explain international flights and their airport distribution. Flights' determinants are gravity, hub-and-spoke and infrastructure variables. Results support a composite measure of capacity inputs and domestic connections. Demand-side and also supply-side variables attract international flights.
