aviation hub
Busy flight center
An aviation hub is an airport that serves as a central transfer point for airline traffic, where passengers and cargo connect between flights rather than flying directly to final destinations.
Major airlines concentrate operations at their hubs: Chicago O'Hare is a hub for United Airlines.
Hub airports typically offer more destinations and flight frequencies than non-hub airports.
