Assessment of New Hub‐and‐Spoke and Point‐to‐Point Airline Network Configurations
This paper aims to provide new measures of airline network configuration with a view to analyse effectively the complexity of modern carriers’ network design. It studies network configurations in the airline sector by taking into account both spatial and temporal dimensions. The spatial dimension is measured by using both the Gini index and the Freeman index, which originate from social science research. The temporal dimension is measured by the connectivity ratio, i.e. the share of indirect connections over the total number of connections. According to these indicators, the configuration of the largest full‐service carriers and the largest low‐cost carriers in Europe is investigated. The results show that the temporal dimension provides a clear distinction between full‐service carriers and low‐cost carriers; while the spatial dimension appears useful when identifying the peculiarities within groups.
