Abstract
This paper studies the effects of mergers on the efficiency of airlines with fuel cost, ASM (available seats mileage) per employee, revenue passenger miles and load factor. The Bilateral DEA model is conducted to separate each airline into two periods: before and after alliance. This paper also introduces auxiliary validation to compare two periods of the trend in the conclusion and analysis part. The result shows that there is a significant loss in efficiency between the two periods for all airlines selected except Alaska Airlines.
