  • Dual-Hub Connectivity: a Case Study on China Eastern Airlines in Shanghai Huijuan Yang* and Weiwei Liu
    Yang and Liu European Transport Research Review (2019) 11:25 European Transport https://doi.org/10.1186/s12544-019-0364-6 Research Review ORIGINAL PAPER Open Access Dual-hub connectivity: a case study on China Eastern Airlines in Shanghai Huijuan Yang* and Weiwei Liu Abstract To deal with slot constraints and insufficient capacity, emerging multi-airport systems have been under construction in China. This paper chose China Eastern Airlines as a case study, evaluating its hub connectivity under a dual-hub circumstance in Shanghai. The paper detected that the biggest constraint of China Eastern Airlines’ dual-hub situation lied in Shanghai’s location and the restricted transfer options on international routes. Contributions from alliance partners were assessed and benchmarked with China Eastern Airlines. With China Southern Airlines quit SkyTeam alliance, China Eastern Airlines faced more challenges on the domestic market. The empirical study also pointed out the shortcoming of operating at two hubs in the same catchment area, where the quality of connectivity of inter-hub connections cannot be maintained as high as a single-hub transfer. However, the market potential of inter-hub connections in Shanghai was identified with a considerable amount of viable connections. Keywords: Hub connectivity, Dual-hub operation, China Eastern Airlines 1 Introduction Multi-airport system largely expands the catchment area Airports have experienced pressures on operational cap- and capacity in the region.

  • Electric Airports
    Electric Airports In the next few years, it is highly likely that the global aircraft fleet will undergo a transformative change, changing air travel for everyone. This is a result of advances in battery technology, which are making the viability of electric aircraft attractive to industry leaders and startups. The reasons for switching from a fossil­fueled to electric powertrain are not simply environmental, though aircraft do currently contribute around 3% of global carbon dioxide emissions [1]. Electric aircraft will provide convenient, comfortable, cheap and fast transportation for all. This promise provides a powerful incentive for large companies such as Airbus and many small startups to work on producing compelling electric aircraft. There are a number of fundamental characteristics that make electric aircraft appealing. The most intuitive is that they are predicted to produce very little noise, as the propulsion system does not rely on violent combustion [2]. This makes flying much quieter for both passengers and people around airports. As they do not need oxygen for burning jet fuel, they can fly much higher, which in turn will make them faster than today’s aircraft as air resistance decreases with altitude [3]. The most exciting characteristic is that electric aircraft could make vertical take­off and landing, or VTOL, flight a possibility for everyone. Aircraft currently take off using a long runway strip, gaining speed until there is enough airflow over the wings to fly. It obviously doesn’t have to be this way, as helicopters have clearly demonstrated. You can just take off vertically. Though helicopters are far too expensive and slow for us to use them as airliners.
