In this paper, we examine the relationship between airline frequencies and delays under different route structures taking advantage of aggregated data of large US airports for the period 2005-2013. We run regressions using airline and airport fixed effects to control for different heterogeneities in data. Results of the empirical analysis show airlines operating under hub-and-spoke route struct...

Business-to-business integration (B2Bi) solutions offered by vendors fall into two broad categories: hub-and-spoke (interaction between partners takes place through a central hub that acts as an intermediary), and peer-to-peer (interaction takes place directly between partners). Vendors are increasingly offering cloud based solutions; a hub-and-spoke architecture is well suited to SaaS level pr...

Under the background of economic globalization, air transport industry developed rapidly. It turns out that city-to-city network has not been able to adapt well development society, and hub-and-spoke came into being. The demonstrates advantages reducing operating costs airlines keep a competitive advantage, by maintaining interests in rapidly developing context. However, during operation aircra...

The design of hub-and-spoke transport networks is a strategic planning problem, as the choice of hub locations has to remain unchanged for long time periods. However, strikes, disasters or traffic breakdown can lead to the unavailability of a hub for a short period of time. Therefore it is important to consider such events already in the planning phase, so that a proper reaction is possible; on...

Recent research has found that the entrance of a low cost carrier leads to lower prices on routes it has entered. This paper extends this analysis by examining the impact of route entry by a discount carrier, ValuJet into an established carrier's hub, Delta, and by examining price changes on routes not entered by the low cost carrier. We found that Delta lowered its fares on competitive routes ...
