This study seeks to analyze the implications of the relationship between air transport and tourism for the strategic and operational planning of airline companies, within a systemic view of management, identifying, in the external environment, the activities of the stakeholders. For this purpose, it seeks to extend the concepts of airline companies and tourism at the points where their theoretical definitions converge. It also deals with the operational factors which are crucial for airline companies (load factor and demand) in view of the influence of tourism. Finally, it proposes a logistics integration of the entire tourism supply chain, of which airline companies are part.

This article describes, using secondary data, the context of Brazilian regional airlines and presents the concepts of air route planning proposed by the literature. Primary data, using questionnaires sent to regional airlines (n=5), were collected with the purpose of analysing the influence of various factors, notably tourism, on the route planning process. As a result of this research, a systemic model for air route planning at the regional scale is proposed.
