Abstract

This paper evaluates the technical efficiency of 37 Chinese airport airsides. We introduce take-off distance available, landing distance available, and aircraft-parking position as inputs into the efficiency evaluation. This study also estimates the input excess and output shortfalls. Benchmarks are identified for those technically inefficient airsides.
