The value published by Anac does not represent the price of a specific ticket, but the average of what passengers actually paid for tickets throughout 2025. This means that a person can find promotions well below this value or pay more in periods of high demand. The indicator serves to show how the market behaved throughout the year. The data is adjusted for inflation (IPCA), which allows prices to be compared between different years. Distance helps to explain higher prices Another indicator in the study helps to understand why states in the North Region tend to have higher tariffs. In Acre, the average distance traveled by passengers was 2,596 kilometers per trip in 2025. This means that, on average, those who embarked in the state made long journeys to reach their final destination. In addition to distance, industry experts often point to factors such as fewer routes available, little competition between airlines and higher operating costs as elements that influence ticket prices in the region. How much does each kilometer flown cost? The yearbook also presents the so-called fare yield, an indicator that measures how much the passenger pays, on average, per kilometer traveled. In Acre, the yield was R$0.444 per kilometer, an increase of 8.3% compared to the previous year. In practice, this index allows you to compare the cost of tickets between states that have different average distances. While the average fare shows the total amount paid, the yield reveals how much each kilometer of the trip costs, on average. Acre has the 3rd most expensive air tickets in the country, says Anac Renato Menezes/g1 Furthermore, the data also shows that Acre airports handled 204,842 paid passengers on domestic flights during 2025. Of this total: 183,662 passengers embarked or disembarked through Rio Branco International Airport; 21,180 passengers used Cruzeiro do Sul Airport. The numbers only represent passengers who traveled with paid tickets and do not include other modalities provided for by Anac methodology. National scenario Throughout Brazil, the domestic market transported 101 million passengers in 2025, growth of 8.4% compared to the previous year, according to Anac. The number of domestic and international flights reached 958.9 thousand operations, the highest volume since 2019. The average aircraft occupancy rate reached 83.6%. Despite Acre appearing among the states with the most expensive tickets, the national average fare fell 3.3% compared to 2024, going from R$670 to R$648 per route. According to the agency, around 24% of tickets sold in the country cost less than R$300, while approximately 7% were above R$1,500. In total, 65% of tickets sold had prices below the national average. The indicators also show an improvement in the regularity of operations. In 2025, 7.1% of domestic flights arrived more than 30 minutes late, 2.7% were delayed by more than an hour and 1.8% of operations were cancelled. VIDEOS: g1
