This short communication evaluates the influence of congestion on the technical efficiency of airports using three … different approaches. To accomplish this aim a sample of 141 worldwide airports is used. The results show considerable signs of … congestion inefficiency in some airports, highlighting the importance of studying this phenomenon. …

In this paper, the random stochastic frontier model is used to estimate the technical efficiency of UK airports. The … airports are ranked according to their productivity for the period 2000–2005 and homogenous and heterogeneous variables in … the cost function are disentangled. These changes the ranking of the efficiency of UK airports compared to more …

flights where a cubic cost relationship was estimated. The findings are comparable with earlier studies for US airports. …
