Abstract: The United States (US) has a mature airport network, while China has a rapidly developing network. Through a comparative analysis of China and the US, China can potentially learn a lot from the development of the airport network in the US. This paper analyses the respective advantages and disadvantages of the airport networks in the US and China through the use of a variety of analytical tools. From an analysis of the airport network in the US, nine suggestions were drawn for the Chinese airport network, and 23 basic strategies were identified from the analysis of the Chinese airport network itself. Ultimately, 15 strategies were identified and developed based on these findings. The adoption of these strategies would enable China to achieve the advantages of a mature airport network that is clearly visible in the US.
