Abstract
The aviation sector is a strategic service domain that is highly sensitive to global economic fluctuations, pandemics, and geopolitical crises. This study analyzes the financial performance of TAV Airports, a publicly traded company listed on Borsa Istanbul and operating within the aviation industry, for the period 2019–2024 using the Entropy-based VIKOR method. In this context, assessing the financial resilience of sectoral actors is of great importance. Financial ratios were weighted using the Entropy method, and the performance ranking was carried out through the VIKOR approach. The findings reveal that 2019 was the year with the strongest financial performance (Qj = 0.056), while 2020 exhibited the weakest performance (Qj = 1.000). Additionally, the strongest and weakest financial indicators were identified for each year, allowing for the evaluation of the company’s annual strengths and areas for improvement. These findings are particularly significant for investors, analysts, financial market participants, and decision-makers focusing on Borsa Istanbul and the broader Turkish capital markets, as they support more informed portfolio strategies and risk assessments within the aviation sector.
