The growing need for travelling more and more to farther regions around the globe has boosted the aeronautical industry in a significant way. However, the transportation of humans also entails the transportation of undesirable viruses and diseases. This study proposes the analysis of the influence of air transport in the spread of these viruses. In order to do so, we conduct a historical review on the evolution of some of the most impactful outbreaks ever experienced, focusing on the H1N1(2009) and on the Zika (2015-2016) epidemics. Through this analysis, we can clearly demonstrate that the growth in the air market - illustrated by larger aircraft, more locations being linked, and more operational technology, impact on more people flying and, consequently, more diseases being spread. Despite the efforts on behalf of aviation and health authorities and the use of technology, there is the need for more studies and research to develop strategies that can mitigate these consequences. / O transporte a?reo consolidou-se como um dos mercados de maior import?ncia econ?mica nas ?ltimas d?cadas. A necessidade de deslocamentos a pontos mais distantes e em maior frequ?ncia tem impulsionado a ind?stria aeron?utica de forma cont?nua e significativa. No entanto, sabemos que o transporte de seres humanos tamb?m acarreta o transporte de doen?as e v?rus n?o desej?veis. O presente estudo ? uma an?lise historiogr?fica da influ?ncia do transporte a?reo na dissemina??o de doen?as. Para isso, conduzimos uma revis?o hist?rica sobre a evolu??o de algumas das maiores epidemias j? vividas, concentrando um foco maior na gripe A H1N1 (2009) e de Zika (2015-2016). A partir desta an?lise, podemos constatar que o crescimento do transporte aeron?utico ? evidenciado atrav?s de aeronaves maiores, mais localidades sendo acessadas, maior tecnologia operacional, impactam em maior quantidade de pessoas voando e, consequentemente, maior facilidade de dissemina??o de doen?as. Apesar dos esfor?os por parte das autoridades sanit?rias e aeron?uticas e da utiliza??o de tecnologias pertinentes, acredita-se que h? a necessidade de mais estudos e pesquisas para o desenvolvimento de estrat?gias que possam mitigar tais consequ?ncias.
