The aim of this study explores the use of the basic DEA models as an instrument for assessing the technical efficiencies and scale efficiencies of Southeast Asia represented airlines over the period 2012-2016 then making a comparison with the Gulf carriers - which have been the tremendous threatens of Southeast Asia Airlines nowadays. In this context, the DEA models (CCR and BBC) with output-orientation are used to evaluate the efficiency of airlines.
The results indicate that the overall efficiencies of airlines during a specific period of time are affected by size and scale of airlines. Furthermore, more than half of all airlines operated under their capacity; therefore, either they should increase their operation or decrease their scale to get their optimal outputs. Finally, the low-cost carriers (LCCs) and new entrants are found to be more efficient when compared to the full-service carriers (FSCs) in this study.
