摘要：

In this paper, we determine characteristics of the cost-minimizing airline network under economies of density. Airline demand is asymmetric and governed by the gravity model. Airline networks are restricted to those where each spoke city is assigned to a single hub and where hub cities are fully interconnected, The cost-minimizing network is a mixture of a point-to-point and a single hub network. Multi-hub networks where passengers change planes at more than one airport are found to be suboptimal. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
