International Airline Hubbing in a Competitive Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Changes in the U.S. domestic airline route system have increased competition between international gateways. To assist in understanding this phenomenon, a system of models that predicts airline passenger flows resulting from different airline gateway hubbing strategies has been developed. The calibrated rnodels predict baseline passenger Mows quite accurately. The system was then used to project future traffic eL a specific airport under alternative hubbing strategies of an airline. The results show that future International traffic et this airport is strongly sensitive to the airline’s choice of strategy.

Development of a Model for Locating Hubs in a Competitive Environment under Uncertainty: A Robust Optimization Approach
This article explores the development of previous models to determine hubs in a competitive environment. In this paper, by comparing parameters of the ticket price, travel time and the service quality of hub airports, airline hubs are divided into six categories. The degree of importance of travel time and travel cost are determined by a multivariate Lagrange interpolation method, which can pla...
متن کاملNetwork Effects, Congestion Externalities, and Air Traffic Delays: Or Why All Delays Are Not Evil
We examine two factors that might explain the extent of air traffic delays in the United States: network benefits due to hubbing and congestion externalities. Airline hubs enable passengers to cross-connect to many destinations, thus creating network benefits that increase in the number of markets served from the hub. Delays are the equilibrium outcome of a hub airline equating high marginal be...

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) estimates that $52.2 billion will be available over the years 2011– 2015 to fund airport infrastructure developments. Because one of the main objectives is to reduce congestion and delays, there is a need to acknowledge the importance of connectivity (measured with a centrality indicator) when establishing funding priorities. Currently, the FAA doe...
متن کاملThe impact of airline alliance terminal co-location on airport operations and terminal development
The notion of co-locating alliance carriers to their designated terminals in airports has gained significant interest in recent years. While benefits on the part of airlines are made clear by existing literature on alliance-hubbing, the tangible benefits to airport operators are less clear due to a lack of studies in the literature. This paper considers existing cases of London Heathrow, Paris ...
