The Brasília International Airport Juscelino Kubitschek is considered to be the main one in the Central-West region, giving it the objective of interconnecting the national and international territory and their respective markets. This article aims to characterize the airport in terms of number of passengers and profits obtained before and after the airport infrastructure modernization reforms delivered in 2014, in order to verify whether the investments made were paid of. The analysis is due to the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil. A quantitative research was carried out in this case study, based on data extracted from the statistical yearbooks published by the Brazilian Airport Infrastructure Company - Infraero, by the Department of Airspace Control - DECEA, as well as data published by the Agency National Civil Aviation - ANAC. It was observed that because the rate of use of flights during th World Cup period had 83% of the total available seats occupied the investments made by Inframerica supported the demands of the major events in 2014 and 2016. In contrast it was conclued that the modernization from the airport contributed positively in a special way in 2015 where the number of flights presented the best results in general. The fact that the years of major events didn’t meet the expected demands was related to the fare prices and consequently to the ticket.
