dc.description.abstract |
Network airlines have been increasingly focusing their operations on hub airports
through the exploitation of connecting traffic, allowing them to take advantage of economies
of traffic density, which are unequivocal in the airline industry. Less attention has been
devoted to airlines' decisions on point-to-point thin routes, which could be served using
different aircraft technologies and different business models. This paper examines, both
theoretically and empirically, the impact on airlines' networks of the two major innovations in the airline industry in the last two decades: the regional jet technology and the
low-cost business model. We show that, under certain circumstances, direct services on
point-to-point thin routes can be viable and thus airlines may be interested in deviating
passengers out of the hub.
Keywords: regional jet technology; low-cost business model; point-to-point network;
hub-and-spoke network
