Purpose-
Airports in Turkey can be grouped using by various methods. One of these
methods is clustering. In this study, 55 airports operating in Turkey, were
analyzed by clustering methods.
Methodology- The
airports are clustered according to similar features by the K-means method. The number of clusters was determined by using the elbow
method. The clusters were verified by Ward's method. While
clustering was being carried out, basic features such as passengers using
airports, cargo carried by airports, and number of flights were used.
Findings- In
this study, it has been seen that the airports have been divided into six
clusters, two of which have just one element. It is also understood that five
major airports(İstanbul Ataturk, İstanbul Sabiha Gokcen, Ankara Esenboga, Izmir Adnan Menderes, Antalya)
are quite different from other airports.
Conclusion- As a result, in this study, airports were clustered
and similar airports were identified and a resource was prepared to assist
managers in thinking that the solutions to common problems would be effective
at similar airports.
