airline networks
Hub and spoke
Airline networks are the systems of routes, hubs, and connections that airlines use to move passengers and cargo between destinations.
A hub-and-spoke network funnels travelers through central airports; a point-to-point network flies directly between cities.
The term also describes the business alliances between carriers that let passengers book seamless itineraries across multiple airlines: Star Alliance is one of the largest airline networks.
