Abstract

This study, in which the operational efficiency of the busiest airports in Europe, Asia and North America are analyzed comparatively, has two objectives. The first objective is to demonstrate the relative performance of each airport by comparing it with its international counterparts and to offer solutions for those with low efficiency. The second aim of the study is to make a regional comparison and to examine the performance differences between European, Asian and North American airports. In this context, the five busiest airports in each region were included in the study. Non-radial data envelopment analysis was used for the analysis, and efficient and inefficient airports were identified. It was determined that the major reason for airport inefficiency was the inability to use the airport area effectively. In addition, the average efficiency of the airports operating in the Asian region was found to be higher than their counterparts.

Uluslararası Havalimanlarının Operasyonel Etkinliğinin Değerlendirilmesi: Bölgesel Bir Karşılaştırma

Abstract

Avrupa, Asya ve Kuzey Amerika’nın en işlek havalimanlarının operasyonel etkinliğinin karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz edildiği bu çalışmanın iki amacı vardır. Birincisi, analize dâhil olan her bir havalimanını uluslararası rakipleri ile kıyaslayarak göreli performansını ortaya koymak ve etkinliği düşük olanlar için çözüm önerileri sunmaktır. Çalışmanın ikinci amacı ise bölgesel bir karşılaştırma yaparak Avrupa, Asya ve Kuzey Amerika havalimanları arasındaki performans farklarını incelemektir. Bu bağlamda, her bölgeden beş adet olmak üzere toplam on beş havalimanı araştırmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Havalimanlarının karşılaştırmalı performans analizinde radyal olmayan veri zarflama analizi kullanılmıştır. Yapılan analizler neticesinde etkin ve etkin olmayan havalimanları tespit edilmiştir. Havalimanı etkinsizliğinin en büyük nedeninin havalimanı alanının etkin bir şekilde kullanılamamasından kaynaklandığı belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, Asya bölgesinde faaliyet gösteren havalimanlarının ortalama etkinliğinin rakiplerine göre daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
