Abstract
In order to compare the productivity of airports different scientific
approaches are used by various authors. Previous research has shown
wide application of the data envelopment analysis (D.E.A.) model for
productivity comparison. The D.E.A. model may be used to compare
both partial and total factor productivity. However, aggregation of the
separate partial factors into a single D.E.A. model is still not sufficiently
investigated. The purpose of this paper is to suggest the integration of
two methods – DEA and Delphi Expert Panel – to solve this problem.
A model was developed and experimentally tested with 15 major
European Union airports. The results show that the suggested model
could be efficiently used to compare the airports’ productivity, which
is expressed by a large set of attributes. The main conclusion is that
model can be successfully used to compare airports by different criteria
through integrating the DEA and Delphi Expert Panel techniques. The
model can be used for any set of airports to compare productivity. The
research could be useful to airport managers and investors, as well as
to researchers in the area of D.E.A. application.
