The objective of this article is to carry out a comparative study of the trajectory of the Brazilian Airport Infrastructure Company (Infraero) and Aeropuertos Españoles y Navegación Aérea (Aena), the company responsible for operating the airport system in Brazil and Spain, respectively. We will highlight the following points of comparison: a) forms of regulation and institutionalization of the airport system, from the first laws that regulated the air navigation service, through the creation of regulatory bodies; b) the incorporation of airports; c) the financial and economic performance of both companies, through the analysis of historical series constructed from Infraero and Aena reports.
