The operation of the airport provides local businesses with access to national and global markets and helps to retain and attract business, and thus can provide jobs and economic prosperity for the region. In general, the economic performance of airports is largely directly related to the political, economic, social and cultural importance of the city's urban hierarchy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the economic performance of Zanjan Airport using the TOPSIS method (MADM) which is a multi-criteria decision-making method. According to this study, the results show that in order to improve Zanjan Airport, the community is more in favor of turning the airport into a private airport and the least effect is considered as the parameter of the impact of air agencies.
