Abstract: Abstract The most effective driver of connectivity is the number of flight movements at a given hub, as the number of feasible hits greatly rises when compared to the number of underlying flight movements. Contrary to popular belief, the number of banks (a temporal cluster of inbound and outbound flights) correlates conversely with connectivity: the fewer the better. Bank structures, as well as geographical, operational, infrastructural, and regulatory issues, deeply affect connectivity. Airlines have implemented or abolished structural variants, including rolling, random, or continuous hubbing, with varied success. In this chapter, we review the economics of these structural designs.
