Introduction Productivity analysis of German and British airports using partial productivity methodology

Ratio analysis depicting capital, labor and financial performance Sample: 18 German international airports from 1998-2004 and 14 British international airports from fiscal years 1995-2005

Data Envelopment Analysis as a verification method (in progress)

Methodology: Partial Indicators

Methodology: Partial Indicators e.g. PAX per Employee Advantages

Can derive simple comparisons between separate input and output factors Provide for comparisons in specific areas Ease of computation

Disadvantages

Comparisons could be invalid when comparing

  • bservations that have different input mixes

Do not take into account factor prices Cannot handle multiple outputs and inputs

DEA Models Estimated

Analysis of two separate classes of services – Terminal Services and Movements (Gillen and Lall, 1997) DEA currently only estimated for German airports

Model 1a: Terminal Services Model 1b: Air traffic movements Outputs: Total PAX, Air freight (approx. by WLU) Inputs:

  • No. of runways
  • No. of gates

Terminal Area (in m2)

  • No. of employees
  • No. of baggage collection belts
  • No. of public parking spots

Outputs: Air traffic movements Inputs: Airport area (in m2)

  • No. of runways

Runway area (approx. by length

  • f runway)
  • No. of employees

Conclusion

Initial results indicate that British airports perform significantly better than German airports Non-aeronautical operations have been of increased importance for both British and German markets Revenue efficiency has diminished in both markets, but cost efficiency has also

Agenda for Further Research

Disaggregated financial data

To make fair comparisons and correct adjustments

Further development in the international comparison Correlation analysis between partial indicators and DEA Estimation of a DEA model which includes financial information

Aeronautical revenues as an output or operating costs as an input

Application of different methodologies
