Importance The article addresses performance indicators of air transportation and offers new measures to make a more detailed assessment. Objectives The study aims to substantiate the system of indicators enabling an integrated assessment of air transportation efficiency, to offer its classification and characteristics. Methods The paper presents a group of indicators of air transportation efficiency by income, expenses and financial result, shows the applicability of index, coefficient and comparative methods and complex and systems approaches to assess the performance of air transportation. Results We offer a system of indicators, which allows underpinning the economic effect and expediency of air transportation and serves as a preventive indicator for making timely management decisions in the event of unfavorable dynamics. Conclusions It is critical to constantly monitor performance indicators. It will help promptly adjust the tariff policy subject to the specifics of airline, seasonality and current aircraft fleet. Using the offered system may improve the quality of management decisions.
