Since the mid-1990s, Colombia’s main airports (including those with the highest traffic) have been privatized, transferring governance to private operators. The remaining airports in the network (the smallest ones) continue with public governance. Based on this, the objective of this research article is to know, analyse and even measure the airport efficiency in a context of structural reform and at the same time compare this with the measure in airports with public governance. The methodology used to carry out the study is the Data Envelopment Analysis, and this methodology uses only “technical variables” (that is, only those related to infrastructure). The main results of the research reveal higher efficiency indices in the major (or more important) airports, almost all of them under private governance, although there is also a group of them (usually very small airports) with very low efficiency levels.
Resumen Desde mediados de la década de 1990, y en varias fases temporales, se han privatizado los principales aeropuertos de Colombia. En base a ello, resulta de gran interés conocer, analizar e incluso medir la eficiencia técnica de los aeropuertos en un contexto de reforma estructural, es decir, evaluar la influencia de la privatización de los mismos en la eficiencia y en una relación ''antes-después''. La metodología utilizada para realizar el estudio es el Análisis Envolvente de Datos (DEA). Se utiliza esta metodología para estimar la eficiencia relativa de 16 aeropuertos (ahora ya privatizados) de Colombia y a nivel comparativo, es decir, en tres escenarios específicos consecutivos: gestión pública, transición, gestión privada. La metodología utiliza ''variables técnicas'' típicas (utilizadas en investigaciones similares). Los principales resultados de la investigación revelan índices de eficiencia global muy superiores cuando la gestión de los aeropuertos es completamente privada (es decir, realizada 100% por un operador privado) con respecto a cuando eran gestionados por el sector público.
