Resumo: Aware of the potential concentration effects of Merger and Acquisitions operations in the market, Airlines advocate efficiency gains to justify these business combinations. Most of the literature in this area focus on mature, well-developed markets, but on the last decade two significant operations were witnessed in the Brazilian market. The methodology used in this study is comprised by a qualitative analysis complimented by an efficiency calculation, regarding the input-output relationship, using Total Factor Productivity calculations. Results show that efficiency gains on Azul-Trip merger were focused on overhead and administrative expenses and that the acquisition of Webjet by Gol provided no efficiency gains.

Na última década, o mercado brasileiro de transporte aéreo testemunhou duas grandes operações desta natureza, oferecendo uma oportunidade para expandir a literatura nesta área do conhecimento, fortemente concentrada no estudo de mercados já maduros. Empregando o cálculo de Produtividade Total dos Fatores e análise qualitativa este trabalho revela que a fusão entre Azul e Trip trouxe ganhos restritos de produtividade e que a aquisição da Webjet pela Gol não ofereceu ganhos de produtividade.EDUFU2023-09-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/revistaeconomiaensaios/article/view/6612310.14393/REE-v38n2a2023-66123Revista Economia Ensaios; Vol. 38 No. 2 (2023)Revista Economia Ensaios; v. 38 n. 2 (2023)1983-19940102-2482reponame:Economia Ensaiosinstname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUporhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/revistaeconomiaensaios/article/view/66123/36846Copyright (c) 2023 Revista Economia Ensaiosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCosta, Francisco Augustode A.
