Abstract: Driven by the impressive growth of Chinese e-commerce, Asia Pacific is expected to become the world's largest regional parcel market in the near future. However, it was only after 2003–2004 that global integrated carriers gained the necessary traffic rights to establish hubs in China. This development led to a significant reshaping of the Asian air networks and has produced the current configurations. The aim of this paper is to provide an analysis of such configurations by graphical analysis and complex network metrics.
