Abstract
This article presents a benchmarking methodology designed to help in evaluating the performance of airport operations. It describes how Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used to achieve an efficiency criterion by benchmarking 35 airports based on the percent of on-time gate arrivals. Regression analysis was then used to assess the impact of selected input variables on the likelihood of airport is efficiency. Results show that airport efficiency in terms of operations for the largest 35 airports has continued to decline from 2003 while airport delays and congestion have returned to the levels seen in 2000, when delays were at an all time high.
