Despite the increase in flights also disturb the federal government, the government itself has acknowledged that has some of the responsibility of the readjustments in the past year, for example, increased by the Air Force for two to three digits to the fares that airlines must pay.

The increase came as a surprise even to President Dilma Rousseff, since those fares haven’t suffered the rate change for seven years.

The TAN, levied on services provided en route, suffered the readjustment of 13.23% and TAT, on service of aircraft approaching the airport, was increased by 150%. There was another readjustment of TAT by about 83.85%, scheduled for January 2013, but President Dilma canceled the high after hearing the news.

These two rates, which are administered by the Department of Airspace Control (Decea), represented 3.3% of the total cost of the airlines at the beginning of the mandate of the current president, while today have the weight of 4.2%.
