BREAKING WITH TRADITION

Difficulties encountered in trying to compare the efficiency of airlines are pointed out, and an attempt is made to measure the comparative efficiency of several western European airlines using unweighted combinations of five different efficiency parameters. The airlines are then ranked in order of efficiency in terms of output per employee, and output per dollar of labor costs. Further statistics and tables affecting airline efficiency are also presented which tend to account for some of the anomalies observed. Finally suggestions are put forward for new methods of improving the assessment of airline efficiency.
