regional hubs
Local central stations
Regional hubs are central locations that serve surrounding areas within a geographic zone.
Airlines route flights through regional hubs to connect smaller cities efficiently.
The term applies broadly to distribution centers, administrative offices, or economic centers that coordinate activity across a region: Atlanta functions as a regional hub for the Southeast.
