Havayolu Stratejik İşbirliklerinde Veri Zarflama Analizi İle Finansal Performansın İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Uluslararası havayolu işbirlikleri olarak kabul edilen Star Alliance, SkyTeam ve Oneworld gruplarına üye olan toplam 31 havayolu işletmesinin 2016-2019 dönemine ait finansal performansının veri zarflama analizi ile incelenmesi ve havayolu stratejik işbirliklerinin etkinlik değerleri açısından kendi içerisinde karşılaştırılmasıdır. Bununla birlikte havayolu stratejik işbirliklerinin Covid-19 salgını öncesi dönemdeki finansal performansının araştırılmasıdır. Araştırmanın sonucunda 2016-2017 döneminde tüm havayolu stratejik işbirliklerinde etkinliğin arttığı görülürken 2017-2018 döneminde ise azaldığı görülmüştür. 2018-2019 döneminde ise Star Alliance grubunda etkinliğin azalmaya devam ettiği görülürken Oneworld ve SkyTeam gruplarında ise etkinliğin tekrar arttığı görülmüştür. Star Alliance grubuna üye olan Aegean Airlines ve United Continental işletmelerinin, SkyTeam grubuna üye olan Delta Airlines işletmesinin ve Oneworld grubuna üye olan Alaska Airlines ile Japan Airlines işletmelerinin tüm dönem boyunca etkin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Star Alliance grubuna üye olan 6 havayolu işletmesinin, SkyTeam ve Oneworld grubuna üye olan 3 havayolu işletmesinin tüm dönem boyunca etkin olmadığı görülmüştür.

Investigation of Financial Performance in Airline Strategic Alliances with Data Envelopement Analysis

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the financial performance of a total of 31 airline companies, which are members of Star Alliance, SkyTeam and Oneworld groups, which are accepted as international airline alliances, for the period of 2016-2019, with data envelopment analysis and to compare the airline strategic alliances in terms of their efficiency values. In addition, it is an investigation of the financial performance of airline strategic alliances in the period before the Covid-19 outbreak. As a result of the research, it was seen that the efficiency of all airline strategic cooperation increased in the 2016-2017 period, while it decreased in the 2017-2018 period. In the 2018-2019 period, it was observed that the efficiency continued to decrease in the Star Alliance group, while the efficiency increased again in the Oneworld and SkyTeam groups. It has been determined that Aegean Airlines and United Continental companies, members of the Star Alliance group, Delta Airlines, members of the SkyTeam group, and Alaska Airlines and Japan Airlines, members of the Oneworld group, were efficiency throughout the entire period. It was observed that 6 airline companies that are members of Star Alliance group, 3 airline companies that are members of SkyTeam and Oneworld group were not efficiency during the whole period.
