The paper presents a productivity analysis using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) of 45 US commercial airports selected from the top 15 large, medium, and small hub airports. We use financial and operational data such as aircraft movements, number of airport gates, the annual number of enplaned passengers and runway capacity. Initially we adopt DEA to analyze the efficiency and performance measures of airports within each group by comparing and cross-referencing them with each other. We then extend our analysis to identify those airports that are not efficient and are thus dominated by others airports that are more efficient.
