description This study aims to improve the efficiency of Brazilian air traffic by analyzing the Brazilian Airspace Control System (SISCEAB) performance indicators. The methodology used combined alternative data sources, namely BIMTRA, TATIC FLOW, and VRA, which were employed to examine the impact of different variations in taxiing times. Specifically, Additional Taxi-Out Time (KPI 02) and Additional Taxi-In Time (KPI 13) were analyzed to identify discrepancies among these data sources and determine the most precise combination. The results indicate that airport layout, gate distribution, and runway threshold selection significantly impacted taxiing times. Statistical analysis revealed substantial variations in unimpeded taxi times across different gates and runway thresholds, emphasizing optimizing operational flows. Based on these findings, integrating BIMTRA and VRA is recommended for more accurate KPI measurement. Therefore, this study contributes to implementing operational enhancements, optimizing airport operation flow, and leading to a more efficient management of Brazilian air traffic.
