Transition from Hub & Spoke to Point to Point
(University of Management and Technology, 2018) Saad Sajjad Qureshi
Traveling by air is one of the most necessary demands in today's era. Everyone is traveling country to country for the sake of business, work, job, and study or trading. When they travel they need to choose the airline to go their destination. Different airlines offer different networks and routes based on their schedules. Airlines operate two types of network models 1. Hub and spoke, 2. Point to point. These are two systems on which airlines operate flights. Some airlines do flights on hub and spoke system and some airlines on point to point system. Mostly, legacy airlines operate flights on hub and spoke system and Low Cost Carriers operate point to point flights. Airlines networking based the network planning and the cost they spend on the aircrafts. There are different aircrafts for hub and spoke and different aircrafts for point to point. Point to point system has its own advantages and disadvantages while hub and spoke also have both advantages and disadvantages. New airlines are also coming in the aviation industry to compete all airlines either they are doing hub and spoke or point to point operations. Most of the new airlines are going to perform point to point system because it is so feasible for their business and also for passengers.
