airline hubs
Major transfer airports
Airline hubs are airports where a carrier concentrates its operations, routing passengers through a central point to connect flights.
Rather than flying directly between every city pair, airlines funnel traffic through hubs: Atlanta is Delta's main hub.
Major carriers typically operate multiple hubs across different regions.
The hub-and-spoke model maximizes connections while reducing the number of routes an airline must operate.
