    (Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2015-04) Saka, Ömer; Bayraktar, Erkan
    This study aims to assess the performance of international flight routes of Turkish Airlines in 2011 by executing their resource allocation and productivity perspective. Data Envelopment Analyses (DEA) is used with its model of Variable Return to Scale (VRS) output oriented method to measure the efficiency of routes with respect to the resources. A total of one hundred and twenty five direct flight routes which are located in different regions and markets are examined. All individual routes are treated as Decision Making Unit (DMU) to evaluate the performance of specific routes. Three variables are selected as input which are ASK (Available Seat Kilometers), Variable CASK (Variable Cost per Available Seat Kilometers) and Cycle. On the other hand, two variables are selected as output which are RPK (Revenue Passenger Kilometers) and RASK (Revenue per Available Seat Kilometer).
