Abstract

It becomes important for airports to consider environmental aspects such as the concept of sustainable growth, especially for Asian airports growing and competing aggressively. Thus, it requires incorporating the environmental factor into the productivity indicator of airport and is important to understand how the efforts impact to their current performance and future competition. This paper used Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method including the two undesirable outputs to assess the productivity of 11 Asia airports. Inclusion in the analysis of airport operations with the undesirable effects leads to greater airport’s efficiency scores today and shed a further insight in a competitiveness and risk among Asia airports, when each Asian government extends their environment regulation and tax.
