The Continuous Hub Concept

Abstract

The focus of this study is on the continuous hub concept and its potential role in increasing airport capacity, without the use of larger aircraft, additional runways and more gates. The study of the current hub-spoke concept shows many inefficiencies exist. The continuous concept produces a more efficient aircraft schedule. This study demonstrates how the continuous hub concept can reduce airport congestion by spreading the demand evenly throughout the day.
