This study presents the current commercial aviation scenario of Araguaína, State of Tocantins. The negative repercussions of political uncertainty and the current economic crisis in Brazil have negatively affected Brazil's commercial aviation, implying a drop in demand for air services, in other words, Brazilians have traveled less. With the reduction in demand for flights, the rise in the dollar, and the increase in costs for airlines companies, airlines have adapted supply according to demand, reducing the frequency of flights at airports through Brazil. This research aims to analyze the scenario of the domestic air market in Araguaína - Tocantins, where an exploratory field survey was carried out in air travel agencies and at the airport of the town, by using qualitative methods. According to the results, it can be noted that the crisis has directly affected the municipality's air system; airlines companies do not have remained in the aerodrome, that currently has only one airline company operating in the air terminal; demand and offer for air services show unsatisfactory numbers to the municipality.
