Abstract
In the recent, it is gradually important for airport to consider environmental aspects as sustainable development is emerged. ICAO, FAA and individual countries has tried to reduce airport noise and pollution. Thus, the effort is needed to incorporate environmental factor into productivity indicator of airport. Our paper use DEA method with the non-parametric directional output distance function(DDF) to assess productivity of 14 airports in Korea during 2008~2010. In addition to three inputs, two conventional outputs, two undesirable outputs have been considered : noise and air pollution. Results are compared from models that do not include undesirable outputs. Inclusion in the analysis of the undesirable effects of airport operations leads to greater and closer airport's efficiency scores.
