The purpose of the study is to analyse the performance of Indian air transport operators using key parameters and to benchmark production, marketing and overall efficiencies that can eventually guide top management in tackling present contemporary challenges prevailing in the Indian aviation market and also to provide insights in strategic decision making process. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study applies two stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to evaluate the production and marketing and overall efficiency. Super-Efficient DEA model is used to calculate the efficiency scores and to rank the airlines. Eight Key performance indicators of production and marketing efficiencies are analysed from the year 2010 to 2014 to study the market dynamics.
