A concessão do aeroporto de Campina Grande: uma análise sob a ótica da teoria do contrato incompleto e da teoria dos custos de transação.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to investigate the concession process of Campina Grande Airport in light of the Incomplete Contract Theory and the Transaction Cost Theory. Methodologically, the research adopts a qualitative exploratory approach, using Document Analysis and literature review. The pre-concession studies, named Market Study and Engineering and Related Studies and the Concession Contract nº 001/ANAC/2019 3 Nordeste, as well as real data available in the Hórus System, were analyzed. The main results indicate that the concession of Campina Grande Airport, classified as regional and deficit, faced challenges due to its infrastructure and passenger movement being inferior to neighboring airports. The analysis revealed that the infrastructure improvements planned were fulfilled by the concessionaire, but passenger demand and local political influence impacted the contract9s development. The intervention of state and municipal governments, through tax incentives and tourism promotion, was crucial for increasing passenger flow, surpassing initial projections. It is concluded that risk allocation is essential for the sustainability of regional airport concessions. The research also highlights the importance of state regulation and contractual flexibility to deal with uncertainties and ensure the economic-financial balance of the contract. Continuation of studies is recommended to explore the post-concession scenario and the promotion and development actions carried out by state and municipal governments in the face of deficit and regional airport concessions.
