Air transport is among the most dynamic and toughest competition industries in today's global economy. The quality of air route network design is a key strategic factor in an airline's viability. Air Route Networks Through Complex Network Theory connects theory research with network connectivity analysis, providing practitioners with the tools they need to develop more efficient, resilient, and profitable air route networks. Air Route Networks Through Complex Network Theory helps airline route planners and executives create more robust route networks that are less vulnerable to disruptions, such as node isolation. These robust networks provide for more stable and secure carrier operations vs. those based simply on existing supply and demand volumes. The book further explores errors and attacks in complex networks, strategies for detecting critical nodes, and cascading failure models to assess and maximize robustness. Air Route Networks Through Complex Network Theory explains how to measure air route network connectivity with complex network representations. Node-specific and network-specific representations are covered, along with in-depth coverage of connectivity in special and temporal networks. These collective tools serve as a guide for practitioners seeking to apply complex network theory to the airline industry.
