Abstract: Most airports compare their efficiency according to the results of some partial productivity ratios. However, this approach does not provide a good understanding of their overall performance. In this paper, we apply data envelopment analysis to analyze the technical efficiency and performance of each individual Spanish airport. Results are used to extract some policy considerations before the process of privatization of the Spanish airport system.
