Abstract
Airports are important parts of a country’s infrastructure. However, while many previous benchmarking papers have focused on comparisons between international airports in Europe, which may include the data of the Swiss international airports of Zurich, Geneva, and Basel, or on comparisons of national airports within various European countries, Swiss regional airports efficiency has been investigated yet. The chapter discusses the international airports Zurich, Geneva, and Basel-Mulhouse, as well as the regional airports Lugano-Agno and Bern-Belp. Hence, the benchmarking here contributes to the literature by investigating the technical efficiency of the Swiss international and regional airports in a European context, and by illustrating the issues of applying different capital proxies and input prices. Zurich airport serves as the main hub for Swiss International Airlines, the national carrier of Switzerland, while Geneva provides a gateway for Swiss and the Star Alliance to the western part of the country and near France.
