Abstract
Brazil's civil aviation industry has flown down. The sector had repeated negative financial performance in 2011, 2012 and 2013, resulting in average debt levels far above the equity. This state of affairs can not be maintained, otherwise the industry go bankrupt. The failure of industry-leading companies certainly will have grave consequences for the national economy. This article estimates the 2014 the Income Statement in the industry. It must be said that the 2014 financial statements are not yet available. The method used was the simulation scenarios, with the use of specific software for Monte Carlo simulation. The risk variable was the air ticket revenue and we assigned a triangular probability distribution for such risk variable. The simulated results are not encouraging. The probability of the industry net income to be negative in 2014 is approximately 40%. It can be said that the sector balance the abyss of bankruptcy. These results serve as a warning to the authorities responsible for controlling and monitoring the activities of the civil aviation sector in Brazil.
