hub airport
Major connection point
A hub airport is a major airport where an airline concentrates its operations, routing passengers through connecting flights rather than offering direct service between smaller cities.
Travelers often pass through hubs like Atlanta or Chicago O'Hare to reach their final destinations: We had a two-hour layover at the hub airport before our connecting flight.
