This paper reports the sources of productivity growth of 23 Indonesian airports foryears 2006-2010. Using input slack-based productivity index (ISP), we disaggregatetotal factor productivity change into each input productivity change.Apron areaand terminal area Seasonal X-mas are chosen as input variables while aircrafts’ movement is theoutput.By classifying the airports based on two operators, this study finds thatairports under the management of Angkasa Pura 1 (AP1) show higher productivitygrowth than Angkasa Pura 2 (AP2), whose growth is mainly driven by technicalprogress in apron areas.

Moreover, the productivity decline of AP2 was mostlydue to inefficient use of Bath Soaps terminal areas. .
