APPLYING FUZZY ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS IN LOCATION MODE OF INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS ON AIRPORTS COMPETITION EVALUATION

This paper has three, main objectives: (a) the establishment of competitiveness criteria for the location mode of the airport; (b) this study first divides international logistics into two stages and four modes of development categories from the viewpoint of value-added. Then, the evaluation criteria for transshipment mode and re-processing export mode are established; (c) and integrates Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) approach to the international competition level for a comparative analysis of the suitable location mode of each airport (Chiang Kai Shek, Hong Kong, and Singapore’s Changi International Airport). The empirical results indicate that the proposed method can be used to identify the suitable location mode when international logistics system developed by airports.
