Avaliação da eficiência de aeroportos do sul e sudeste do Brasil por meio da aplicação de modelos de Análise por Envoltória de Dados (DEA)

Abstract

Recognition of the importance of the application of mathematical techniques aimed at measuring the efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) is gaining a greater role in the mathematical literature. In view of this, this paper deals with the use of mathematical models of data envelopment analysis (DEA) applied to southern and southeastern Brazil airports managed by Infraero, to evaluate their efficiencies, classify them as technical or scale efficiencies, understand the degree of inefficiency in the use of its inputs and outputs and find airports that can serve as benchmarks for the studied units. For this research, the inputs used for the chosen airports were: the apron area and the capacity of the terminals, both in square meters and the number of positions for the parking of aircrafts. The outputs considered were the transported annual load in kg and the annual movement of passengers. It can be concluded from the considered sample that airports had mostly high technical efficiency in its processes, with the airports of Congonhas, Curitiba, Florianopolis, Jacarepaguá, Rio de Janeiro and Vitória deserving special mention due do the fact of being the only airports both technical and scale efficient in the considered models.
