DAYTONA BEACH, FLA. – The Air Transport Research Society (ATRS) and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University have released the key results of the ATRS 2019 Global Airport Performance Benchmarking Task Force report at the organization’s World Conference in Amsterdam.

For the 16th year in a row, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) has been named the most efficient airport in the world. ATL is also the busiest airport in the world with over 107 million passengers in 2018.

ATRS is a worldwide research network headquartered in the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland. The annual ATRS benchmark project is compiled, organized and hosted at Embry-Riddle’s David B. O’Maley College of Business in Daytona Beach, Fla. (USA). It provides a comprehensive, unbiased comparison of airport performance worldwide, focusing on productivity and operating/management efficiency, unit cost competitiveness and comparison of airport charges. The 3-volume report can be viewed and ordered at http://atrsworld.org/airportawards.html.

The ATRS Airport Benchmarking Project strives to provide comprehensive and unbiased information on the best practices in the industry to help advance the overall performance of airports worldwide,” said Benchmarking Project Manager Dr. Chunyan Yu, Professor of Air Transport at Embry-Riddle.

The 2019 ATRS Global Airport Benchmarking Project report includes 204 airports and 24 airport groups of various sizes and ownership forms in the Asia Pacific, in Europe and in North America. The report also examines the relationships between various performance measures and airport characteristics, as well as management strategies to provide a better understanding of observed differences in airport performance. Service quality is not considered in the performance measurements.
