 Abstract:

The demand to travel by air and airlines services becomes higher and higher as the economic growth throughout the World. The South East Asian area is considered to be a dynamic place with many economic factors e.g., cheap labors, tourism, and then the low-cost carriers are established to serve those targeted groups of customers. Choosing a partner is a key to success in the competitive market, although criteria for partner selection vary between markets. This study aims to develop effective methods to assist enterprise to measure the firms ‘operation efficiency, and find out a potential candidate based on inputs and outputs realistic data, and forecast the values of those variables in the future as well. The methodologies are constructed by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and grey model (GM). Realistic data in four consecutive years (2013–2016) a total of 11 public companies of ASEAN aviation industry are completely collected. This paper tries to help “Target Company” to find the right alliance partners.
