Though widely known to airline industry insiders, you might find this point raised by a blog reader regarding our Global airline traffic trends report interesting.
We found that the average connecting rate of the ten busiest airports in Asia is 19% compared with 32% for the top ten hubs in Europe. Our data agrees with the notion that Asia is a much more point-to-point market than Europe. And in North America the hub and spoke model is even more prevalent: the average connecting rate for the top ten hubs in North America is 45% way ahead of both Europe and Asia.
