Resumen

We study DEA efficiencies of 47 Spanish airports over the period 2009–2013. Because the selection of inputs and outputs in the DEA model is problematic, we consider 186 input/output specifications obtained by combining four inputs and five outputs. Given the large differences in size between the airports, we use Variable Returns to Scale. Since it is a characteristic of economic crisis that some capacity remains idle, we use the output-oriented version of DEA. The results are visualised using the tools of multivariate statistical analysis. The analysis reveals six independent aspects of efficiency that can be assessed for an airport, and how their relative importance evolved during the economic crisis. Important changes in efficiency between 2009 and 2010 are revealed. They were followed by a period of slow return to the pre-crisis situation. The methodology presented here makes it possible to assess the strengths and weaknesses of each airport in terms of efficiency.
