In the Sakha Republic, aviation serves as the sole mode of year-round transportation, which is crucial for overcoming logistical challenges in remote areas of the region. This study utilizes DEA-SBM analysis to assess the efficiency of 21 airports in addressing issues within the Sakha Republic’s airport infrastructure. The study revealed that six airports achieved the highest efficiency score: Batagay Airport, Chulman Airport, Deputatsky Airport, Ust-Kuyga Airport, Ust-Nera Airport, and Yakutsk Airport. The findings highlight the potential of DEA-SBM analysis for airport operators and managers to evaluate input and output levels for enhanced operational efficiency.
