Summary
This study assessed Asia-Pacific airport operational efficiency using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Key efficiency drivers include international passenger volume, hinterland population, airline alliances, and GDP per capita growth.
Area of Science:
- Transportation Science
- Economics
- Operations Research
Background:
- Airports are critical for economic growth, facing increasing competition.
- Limited research exists on operational efficiency for Asia-Pacific airports.
- This study addresses this gap by analyzing 21 airports from 2002-2011.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the operational efficiency of major Asia-Pacific airports.
- To identify significant determinants influencing airport operational efficiency.
Main Methods:
- A two-stage analytical approach was employed.
- Stage 1: Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to measure airport efficiency.
- Stage 2: Regression analysis to determine efficiency drivers.
Main Results:
- Adelaide, Beijing, Brisbane, Hong Kong, Melbourne, and Shenzhen were identified as efficient airports.
- Significant efficiency determinants include international passenger percentage, hinterland population, and airline alliance participation.
- GDP per capita growth also significantly explains efficiency variations.
Conclusions:
- Operational efficiency in Asia-Pacific airports is influenced by international connectivity and regional economic factors.
- Strategic positioning within global airline alliances is crucial for efficient airport operations.
- Understanding these drivers can inform airport management and policy decisions.

Net production efficiency (NPE) is the efficiency at which organisms assimilate energy into biomass for the next trophic level. Due to low metabolic rates and less energy spent on thermoregulatory processes, the NPE of ectotherms (cold-blooded animals) is 10 times higher than endotherms (warm-blooded animals).

Global Positioning System (GPS) technology has revolutionized navigation and positioning, but its accuracy is often compromised by various errors. These errors, stemming from environmental, satellite, and receiver-related factors, require careful mitigation to ensure reliable performance across applications.Atmospheric ErrorsGPS signals travel through the Earth’s ionosphere and troposphere, introducing delays which affect accuracy. The ionosphere is strongly influenced by charged particles,...

The mechanical efficiency of a machine is a fundamental concept that describes how effectively a machine can convert input work into output work. According to this concept, the efficiency of a machine is equal to the ratio of the output work to the input work. An ideal machine, meaning a machine that has no energy losses, has an efficiency of one. This implies that the input work and the output work are equal.
However, in reality, no machine can be truly ideal, and all of them experience some...
