More than half of foreign tourists arrived in Brazil by air in January
The role of air travel in international arrivals reinforces how important transfers are at the first and last stage of a trip.
What happened
Mercado & Eventos reported that more than 53% of foreign tourists arriving in Brazil in January 2026 entered by air, reinforcing the importance of airports in the arrival experience.
What this means for drivers
For transfer operators, the first impression starts before the passenger enters the vehicle. Meeting point, identification, delay communication and the correct destination need to be organized before landing.
What is worth checking
- Before changing your operation, confirm whether the information applies to your city, service type and local rules.
- Record times, route changes and occurrences that may explain delays.
- Avoid making operational decisions based only on headlines or national figures.
