RELATIVE EFFICIENCY AND PRODUCTIVITY OF INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES

摘要

In this paper the results are published of post-doctorate research done at the Brazilian Aeronautics Technological Institute (ITA) in 2006. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate and to discuss the operational performance of the main Brazilian carriers in the period from 2000-2005, by comparing their productivity growth and operational performance metrics with those of full service companies (FSC), regional airlines and low-fare/low-cost companies (LCC), chosen from among benchmarks in this industry.
