Using Network Sciences to Evaluate the Brazilian Airline Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the next few years, Brazil will host international events such as the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympics Games. Given the worldwide appeal of these events, local authorities in Brazil expect the country will have around 1.6 million visitors arriving at its airports (1 million for the Olympics and 600 thousand for the World Cup). Therefore, these events will put to test the robustness of the Brazilian airline transportation system. As of today, Brazil concentrates most of its flights in and out a single hub city: São Paulo Airport in Guarulhos (GRU). Is this concentration a problem? Aiming to analyze the hub choices of this network we collected data from the five biggest companies that operate in Brazil with domestic and international flights; together these companies are responsible for more than 94% of the total flight traffic in Brazil. In this paper analyzed the impact of moving today’s main hub, Guarulhos Airport in São Paulo (GRU), to other airports around the country—the idea is to understand what is the best configuration for single-hub model in Brazil. We also investigated the robustness of the network having a single hub by analyzing the impact of the removal of this hub from the network. We believe this work may help us understand how the airport infrastructure in Brazil has to be developed in the near future.
