Abstract This paper reports on the use of different approaches for measuring efficiency in 65 major Brazilian airports. Several programming based estimates were generated to allow testing for significant differences in returns-to-scale and input-decreasing/output-increasing potentials. The findings corroborate anecdotal and empirical evidences regarding a capacity shortfall within Brazilian airports, where the short-term potential for passenger/cargo consolidation per landing/takeoff is virtually nonexistent.
Highlights ► The majority of major Brazilian airports are running short in capacity. ► There are few options available for additional passenger/cargo consolidation. ► Most airports are experiencing increasing returns-to-scale.
