Abstract

This paper uses the Luenberger productivity indicator to evaluate productivity changes of European airlines, combining operational and financial variables from 2000 to 2011. For comparative purposes the Malmquist index is estimated. Three low cost European airlines are inserted in the data set, Virgin Atlantic, EasyJet and Ryanair.
