| Summary: | Within the setting of open market organizations, which in Brazil began to appear around the 1990s, efficiency
has gained greater relevance. The objective of this paper is to study the efficiency of Brazilian airports through
data envelopment analysis, using the Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) and Empresa Brasileira de
Infraestrutura Aeroportuária (INFRAERO) databases from 2009, 2010, and 2011. The method was applied to
study 16 Brazilian international airports with regards to financial variables. This approach showed that an
airport’s size did not determine its efficiency. The use of resources to achieve production was the most relevant
criterion for investigating the airport’s good performance and efficiency in the study presented herein.
