Abstract

Since the deregulation of the airline market in 1978, airline networks have rapidly changed. During this time, regional carriers and low-cost carriers (LCCs) have entered or exited airline markets. According to Bamberger and Carlton [1], in 2003, LCCs other than Southwest entered 38 hub routes and 31 non-hub routes (Southwest entered only two non-hub routes). In the same year, major carriers entered 76 own hub routes, 40 other hub routes, and 216 non-hub routes.

Fußnoten
1
The economic efficiency relative to a point-to-point network comes from the fact that the incumbent enjoys benefits from higher flight frequencies. The resulting welfare under the adopted hub–spoke network could be superior to that in a point-to-point one. For this argument in a monopoly carrier case, see Brueckner [2] and Kawasaki [5], among others.
 
2
This assumption was also made by Oum et al. [9], Brueckner [2], and Brueckner and Flores-Fillol [3].
 
3
See, for example, Kawasaki [5].
 
4
For example, LCCs tend to use point-to-point networks, do not construct flight schedules that consider connecting passengers’ transit, and thus have a very low percentage of connecting passengers.
 
5
Because the demand function for market AB is the same as Eq. (10.2), we omit its demand function here. This comment is valid in the following subsections.
 
6
Recall that the regional carrier enters route AC to avoid the large scheduling effect of the major carrier when the latter enters route AC.
