Abstract: This paper examines, by means of data envelopment analysis, the operational performance of 37 major airports in Mexico. Three analyses are performed considering returns to scale and efficiency scores: constant return to scale composed by technical and scale efficiency, variable return to scale based on pure technical efficiency, and a ratio of these two to measure scale efficiency. Four Mexican airports achieve overall efficiency. Some hypotheses are tested to validate managerial recommendations and derive policy implications.
