| Abstract | In Thailand, airports are the important infrastructures to provide basically facilities for air transportation and additionally used as instrument for supporting economic development and contribution in the country as well as promoting Thailand to being the hub of Southeast Asia. Even though the airports traditionally owe more degree of local monopoly due to the difficulty of duplicate and involve enormous investment but nowadays the liberalization of the international and domestic aviation, which force the airlines in more intensively competition, and airport competition pressure from neighbor countries are substantial keys for the airports to entail and identify themselves to operate on more efficiency basic. Nowadays, the five international airports are being to privatization in according with the government policy to improve their operation efficiency and reinforce economic system, and also for 26 regional airports owned by state firm will be inevitably reformed in the future to operate more efficiency for reducing subsidy. Moreover, measuring of their efficiency is the important tool for assessing whether they operate on efficiency position or not. Historically, some airport operator over the world preferred to measure their performance base on financial by using simply ratios, which can misleading and not cover overall performance in airport. In this study will purpose to measure the airport productivity performances in Thailand base on economic and service performances by applying Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method, which can construct efficiency index with the multidimensional input and output variables and not imposing parameters on the data set. The result of this study can identify the efficiency score, slack of inputs and shortage of outputs on each airport corresponding with its input and output attribute. Eventually, this will be further used to provide the discussion and recommendation for airport operators to improve their efficiency. |
