Abstract

This paper adopts the super-efficiency SBM model to evaluate the efficiency of core airports in 17 airside economic demonstration zones during the period from 2019 to 2023, and employs the Malmquist index to analyze the dynamic changes in their output efficiency. The results indicate that among these 17 core airports, Ningbo Lishe International Airport, Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, and Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport achieved the highest efficiency levels, whereas Beijing Daxing International Airport, Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport, and Guiyang Longdongbao International Airport exhibited relatively low efficiency. Over the five-year period, the overall productivity of all airports has witnessed a significant improvement. On the one hand, technological progress has played a driving role in enhancing overall efficiency; on the other hand, most airports maintain high scale efficiency, which has exerted a positive impact on overall productivity. Finally, this paper proposes targeted paths for improving the development efficiency of the airside economy from the dual perspectives of airport management and policy formulation.
