Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop the methodology to assess the sustainability of the aviation industry based on network data envelopment analysis (DEA) for the assessment of the national aviation industry process productivity. The national aviation industry is classified into the front stage, corresponding to the aviation market, and the behind stage, the ecosystem of the aviation industry from which added value is created. DEA for each stage and network DEA analysis from a system perspective and a process perspective were applied by integrating the two stages. Unlike the results of national productivity assessments based on previous aviation performance, it was found that the productivity varied among countries in each stage, and that the process of creating added value had the most profound effect on the overall sustainability determination of the national aviation industry. This methodology and the results are expected to contribute toward establishing the national policy direction for aviation industry sustainability.
