With a slightly smaller network, mass hub airports are still in themselves large and important creators of economic activity for both the local region and, in some cases, the whole country. Hub airports may handle fewer passengers per annum, have a slightly lower range of connecting destinations or flights per day, but are still well-established and popular connecting points. Examples of hub airports include Amsterdam, Munich, Madrid and, more recently, Tokyo Haneda.
\n
Niche Hub Airports
\n
Geography prevents some airports from becoming larger hubs despite having a high proportion of connecting passengers. These airports become specialist transfer facilities for the local airline, while also creating some economic benefit.
\n
\n
Helsinki was the fastest transit airport for connecting traffic from Europe to Asia (until the current geo-political issues prevented flying over Russian airspace) and Finnair had developed a niche hub offering 45-minute connections at key times of the day for their passengers.
\n
Charlotte in North Carolina, while in itself a major market, has become a specialist hub for American Airlines to connect traffic from Europe to the South East US States, providing quick connections for all.
\n
Panama City has become widely regarded as a hub between North, South and Central America with COPA enjoying some very high yield as they connect secondary destinations in each market, offering connectivity that others cannot match.
\n
\n
Ultimately, passengers need to connect somewhere, at some point, as they travel and sometimes they may have a choice of which airport to use, or on other occasions may be limited to one particular airport due to available connections. All hub airports provide valuable connections, and some will continue to grow further in the coming years. Interestingly, some hub airports may not want to become Megahubs, happy to handle their current traffic and airline customers rather than be constrained by other factors.

Megahubs vs Hubs
\n
Having the world’s largest list of destinations but with only one flight a day to each would be impressive, but as in many things it is the combination of destination variety and flight frequency variables that differentiates the Megas from the Hubs. At OAG we recognize the distinction between a Megahub and a Hub by analysing the number of destinations served and the daily frequency to those destinations.
Using OAG flight data from the 100 largest airports and the 100 largest international airports in the world, Megahubs 2024 analyses not only the totalnumber of destinations served but also the number of scheduled connections to and from international flights with the number of destinations served from the airport.

Not all airports are the same, and in the world of large airports it’s common to describe every airport as a ‘hub’, regardless of its size, the airlines operating from it, and the types of passengers it serves. But is this accurate? What is the difference between a megahub, a hub and a niche airport?

It may come as a surprise that many trips require a connection through an airport to reach the final destination. While there is more than enough demand for flights between London and New York, a direct service between Norwich and New York is not economically feasible for any airline. Therefore, travellers must connect through an intermediate airport during their journey.
\n
Connecting passengers are an important part of business for both airports and airlines. Although short connecting passengers are less likely to spend significant amounts of money compared to local holidaymakers seeking a tax-free bargain before their trip, for airports the benefits, such as additional passenger fees, some modest non-aeronautical revenues, and the value of extra flights, make connecting traffic worthwhile. For airlines, connecting traffic can determine if a route is viable or not, and can even influence the frequency of flights; such as increasing from four to six flights a day.
\n
In this blog, we review some of the characteristics of different hubs, their connectivity, and how they have come to be classified.
\n
Megahub Airports
\n
At the top of the connecting market food chain are airports known as Megahubs, these include airports such as London Heathrow, Kuala Lumpur, Chicago O’Hare, Istanbul and Dubai.
\n
These airports typically host large legacy airlines with extensive networks of short and long-haul flights connecting passengers from one continent to another. Often, these ‘base airlines’ are part of larger airline alliances, for example United Airlines, based at Chicago O’Hare, is part of Star Alliance and British Airways, based at London Heathrow, is with the OneWorld Alliance.
\n
Traditionally these Megahub airports operate at near maximum capacity, with connecting passengers passing through the airport at all times of the day, and they are frequently expanding with new terminals and runways. The scale of a Megahub can vary, some may have flights to literally hundreds of destinations every day, while others may serve a smaller number of destinations but with a very high frequency. Once established, a Megahub airport becomes a fortress for local airlines, attracting more connecting passengers with every new flight added to the operation. For airlines, the ability to ultimately pick and choose from where they want to carry connecting traffic becomes a key part of their business strategy.

\n
Panama City has become widely regarded as a hub between North, South and Central America with COPA enjoying some very high yield as they connect secondary destinations in each market, offering connectivity that others cannot match.
\n
\n
Ultimately, passengers need to connect somewhere, at some point, as they travel and sometimes they may have a choice of which airport to use, or on other occasions may be limited to one particular airport due to available connections. All hub airports provide valuable connections, and some will continue to grow further in the coming years. Interestingly, some hub airports may not want to become Megahubs, happy to handle their current traffic and airline customers rather than be constrained by other factors.
\n
Megahubs vs Hubs
\n
Having the world’s largest list of destinations but with only one flight a day to each would be impressive, but as in many things it is the combination of destination variety and flight frequency variables that differentiates the Megas from the Hubs. At OAG we recognize the distinction between a Megahub and a Hub by analysing the number of destinations served and the daily frequency to those destinations.
Using OAG flight data from the 100 largest airports and the 100 largest international airports in the world, Megahubs 2024 analyses not only the totalnumber of destinations served but also the number of scheduled connections to and from international flights with the number of destinations served from the airport.
\n
","rssSummary":"
Not all airports are the same, and in the world of large airports it’s common to describe every airport as a ‘hub’, regardless of its size, the airlines operating from it, and the types of passengers it serves. But is this accurate? What is the difference between a megahub, a hub and a niche airport?

The busy summer season is drawing to a close, but our exploration of the latest innovations in Airline Tech continues.
\n\n
In this August edition, we spotlight exciting innovations that are enhancing operational efficiencies and enriching the passenger experience across the airline industry. Specifically, we feature one tech company, one airline, and one airport that are leading the charge, employing cutting-edge solutions to refine several pre-boarding aspects of air travel. Consider this edition a dedicated ancillary and distribution snapshot.
\n
This focus is particularly relevant as we approach the tail end of a busy summer season, during which the demand for smoother, more efficient travel experiences has been greater than ever.
\n
As we delve into the advancements showcased in this edition, we see clear evidence of the industry's commitment to leveraging innovative technologies and data to streamline operations and enhance the overall travel experience.
\n
Innovation #1: Fareportal Enhances Seat Selection with New ATPCO Integration
\n
\n
Fareportal, the New York-based travel technology company that operates online travel agencies (OTAs) like CheapOair and OneTravel, has become the first OTA to integrate ATPCO’s Routehappy’s brand-new “seat information” content. This integration enhances how airlines and online booking platforms display seat maps during the booking process, enabling the display of highly targeted visuals that showcase the specific seats selected by flight shoppers.
\n
Here's how it works:
\n
\n
ATPCO’s Seat Characteristic Targeting for Universal Product Attributes (UPAs) enables airlines to visually highlight and distinguish between different seat types, such as extra legroom, exit row, bulkhead seats, preferred seats at the front of the cabin, and various types of business class seats.
\n
This feature is active both during and after the booking process, allowing customers to understand exactly what the offered seats entail.
\n
The detailed visuals include images and interactive seat maps, providing a clear and comprehensive presentation of the cabin's layout.
\n
\n
Why does this innovation stand out?
\n
This innovation has the potential to significantly enhance the air travel booking process for millions of travelers, particularly because ATPCO connects to most major OTAs, including Skyscanner, as well as airline websites. This enhancement is crucial at a time when many travelers experience frustration with the online booking process. As highlighted in our Flight Booking Deep Dive, nearly half of all travelers find the current booking process stressful and nerve-wracking. For travelers, this innovation means gaining access to better information at the point of booking, enabling them to make more informed decisions.
\n
The benefits to airlines are equally compelling. By presenting richer content, including images and detailed seat maps, Fareportal, through ATPCO’s technology, enables airlines to more effectively communicate the advantages of different seating options, helping to differentiate their offerings in a highly competitive industry. This is particularly valuable for airlines that have recently launched new cabin layouts, such as Lufthansa with its Allegris Business Class. For these airlines, the innovation represents a substantial opportunity to increase ancillary revenue by effectively \"selling\" enhanced seating that is challenging to promote without a clear visual representation of its distinct advantages over standard aircraft seats.
\n
This dual benefit underscores the potential of this innovation to transform how airline products are marketed and purchased online, potentially setting a new standard in the online customer experience.
\n
\n
Innovation #2: United Airlines' Automatic Seat Upgrade Feature
\n
\n
United Airlines has introduced a new app feature that significantly enhances passenger convenience by automatically moving travelers to their preferred seat type if it becomes available before departure.
\n
Here's how it works:
\n
\n
This innovative feature is integrated into the United mobile app, where users can specify their seat preference (e.g., window seat).
\n
If the preferred seat type is not available at the time of booking a flight but later becomes available, the app automatically reassigns the passenger to the preferred seat and sends a notification about the change.
\n
This seamless process ensures that passengers have the best possible travel experience tailored to their preferences without any additional effort on their part.
\n
\n
Why does this innovation stand out?
\n
Several factors make this innovation particularly noteworthy:
\n\n
This feature exemplifies how a seemingly small enhancement can significantly increase travel satisfaction. United is the first and only U.S. airline to offer such a seat preference feature directly within its app, setting it apart from competitors.
\n
By integrating this feature into its mobile app, United provides an easy incentive for travelers to use the app, thereby improving customer engagement and establishing more direct touchpoints with passengers.
\n
Typically, airlines generate additional revenue through advance seat reservations. By potentially foregoing some of this revenue to automatically upgrade seats at no extra cost, United prioritizes customer satisfaction over immediate financial gain. This strategy may enhance brand loyalty and customer retention, as it demonstrates a commitment to passenger comfort.
\n\n
The effectiveness and popularity of this feature support United’s strategy. In July alone, the carrier switched over 18,000 passengers - nearly 40% of eligible passengers - to their preferred seats. This high rate of utilization underscores the value and impact of the innovation, far from being a niche offering.
\n
Innovation #3: Hong Kong Airport’s Smartphone Express Bag Drop Service
\n
\n
Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) has introduced a pioneering Smartphone Express Bag Drop Service, marking an industry-first initiative that allows passengers to complete check-in and document scanning using their smartphones before even arriving at the airport.
\n
This innovative service makes HKIA the only airport globally where all departure procedures can be fully completed in self-service mode using smartphones and facial recognition technology.
\n
Here's how it works:
\n
\n
Currently available to all HK Express passengers over 11 years old and Cathay Pacific passengers flying to destinations other than the United States, the service streamlines the entire check-in process.
\n
Passengers can handle check-in and document verification through their smartphones, leveraging HKIA’s app, which integrates seamlessly with facial recognition systems at the airport.
\n
This digital solution paves the way for passengers to bypass traditional check-in lines and head directly to automated bag drop points, significantly speeding up their airport experience.
\n
\n
Why does this innovation stand out?
\n\n
Firstly, the service offers significant efficiency gains and time savings. According to HKIA, this innovative process reduces the average processing time from three minutes to less than one minute. Achieving such efficiency without the need for human intervention from airline employees streamlines operations significantly.
\n
Secondly, the service alleviates pressure on traditionally congested areas such as check-in and baggage drop points, particularly during peak travel periods. This enhancement helps avoid operational chaos and addresses workforce shortages, thereby improving both operational efficiency and passenger satisfaction.
\n
Lastly, this service is part of a broader trend where airports globally are adopting digital solutions to enhance efficiency. Similar to Aeroporti di Roma’s Smart Boarding Initiative mentioned in our June edition or Zurich’s AI security scanners from our July edition, HKIA’s service provides a glimpse into a future where airport experiences are more seamless and frictionless—a long-sought goal by travelers worldwide.
\n\n

The busy summer season is drawing to a close, but our exploration of the latest innovations in Airline Tech continues.
\n\n
In this August edition, we spotlight exciting innovations that are enhancing operational efficiencies and enriching the passenger experience across the airline industry. Specifically, we feature one tech company, one airline, and one airport that are leading the charge, employing cutting-edge solutions to refine several pre-boarding aspects of air travel. Consider this edition a dedicated ancillary and distribution snapshot.
\n
This focus is particularly relevant as we approach the tail end of a busy summer season, during which the demand for smoother, more efficient travel experiences has been greater than ever.
\n
As we delve into the advancements showcased in this edition, we see clear evidence of the industry's commitment to leveraging innovative technologies and data to streamline operations and enhance the overall travel experience.
\n
Innovation #1: Fareportal Enhances Seat Selection with New ATPCO Integration
\n
\n
Fareportal, the New York-based travel technology company that operates online travel agencies (OTAs) like CheapOair and OneTravel, has become the first OTA to integrate ATPCO’s Routehappy’s brand-new “seat information” content. This integration enhances how airlines and online booking platforms display seat maps during the booking process, enabling the display of highly targeted visuals that showcase the specific seats selected by flight shoppers.
\n
Here's how it works:
\n
\n
ATPCO’s Seat Characteristic Targeting for Universal Product Attributes (UPAs) enables airlines to visually highlight and distinguish between different seat types, such as extra legroom, exit row, bulkhead seats, preferred seats at the front of the cabin, and various types of business class seats.
\n
This feature is active both during and after the booking process, allowing customers to understand exactly what the offered seats entail.
\n
The detailed visuals include images and interactive seat maps, providing a clear and comprehensive presentation of the cabin's layout.
\n
\n
Why does this innovation stand out?
\n
This innovation has the potential to significantly enhance the air travel booking process for millions of travelers, particularly because ATPCO connects to most major OTAs, including Skyscanner, as well as airline websites. This enhancement is crucial at a time when many travelers experience frustration with the online booking process. As highlighted in our Flight Booking Deep Dive, nearly half of all travelers find the current booking process stressful and nerve-wracking. For travelers, this innovation means gaining access to better information at the point of booking, enabling them to make more informed decisions.
\n
The benefits to airlines are equally compelling. By presenting richer content, including images and detailed seat maps, Fareportal, through ATPCO’s technology, enables airlines to more effectively communicate the advantages of different seating options, helping to differentiate their offerings in a highly competitive industry. This is particularly valuable for airlines that have recently launched new cabin layouts, such as Lufthansa with its Allegris Business Class. For these airlines, the innovation represents a substantial opportunity to increase ancillary revenue by effectively \"selling\" enhanced seating that is challenging to promote without a clear visual representation of its distinct advantages over standard aircraft seats.
\n
This dual benefit underscores the potential of this innovation to transform how airline products are marketed and purchased online, potentially setting a new standard in the online customer experience.
\n
\n
Innovation #2: United Airlines' Automatic Seat Upgrade Feature
\n
\n
United Airlines has introduced a new app feature that significantly enhances passenger convenience by automatically moving travelers to their preferred seat type if it becomes available before departure.
\n
Here's how it works:
\n
\n
This innovative feature is integrated into the United mobile app, where users can specify their seat preference (e.g., window seat).
\n
If the preferred seat type is not available at the time of booking a flight but later becomes available, the app automatically reassigns the passenger to the preferred seat and sends a notification about the change.
\n
This seamless process ensures that passengers have the best possible travel experience tailored to their preferences without any additional effort on their part.
\n
\n
Why does this innovation stand out?
\n
Several factors make this innovation particularly noteworthy:
\n\n
This feature exemplifies how a seemingly small enhancement can significantly increase travel satisfaction. United is the first and only U.S. airline to offer such a seat preference feature directly within its app, setting it apart from competitors.
\n
By integrating this feature into its mobile app, United provides an easy incentive for travelers to use the app, thereby improving customer engagement and establishing more direct touchpoints with passengers.
\n
Typically, airlines generate additional revenue through advance seat reservations. By potentially foregoing some of this revenue to automatically upgrade seats at no extra cost, United prioritizes customer satisfaction over immediate financial gain. This strategy may enhance brand loyalty and customer retention, as it demonstrates a commitment to passenger comfort.
\n\n
The effectiveness and popularity of this feature support United’s strategy. In July alone, the carrier switched over 18,000 passengers - nearly 40% of eligible passengers - to their preferred seats. This high rate of utilization underscores the value and impact of the innovation, far from being a niche offering.
\n
Innovation #3: Hong Kong Airport’s Smartphone Express Bag Drop Service
\n
\n
Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) has introduced a pioneering Smartphone Express Bag Drop Service, marking an industry-first initiative that allows passengers to complete check-in and document scanning using their smartphones before even arriving at the airport.
\n
This innovative service makes HKIA the only airport globally where all departure procedures can be fully completed in self-service mode using smartphones and facial recognition technology.
\n
Here's how it works:
\n
\n
Currently available to all HK Express passengers over 11 years old and Cathay Pacific passengers flying to destinations other than the United States, the service streamlines the entire check-in process.
\n
Passengers can handle check-in and document verification through their smartphones, leveraging HKIA’s app, which integrates seamlessly with facial recognition systems at the airport.
\n
This digital solution paves the way for passengers to bypass traditional check-in lines and head directly to automated bag drop points, significantly speeding up their airport experience.
\n
\n
Why does this innovation stand out?
\n\n
Firstly, the service offers significant efficiency gains and time savings. According to HKIA, this innovative process reduces the average processing time from three minutes to less than one minute. Achieving such efficiency without the need for human intervention from airline employees streamlines operations significantly.
\n
Secondly, the service alleviates pressure on traditionally congested areas such as check-in and baggage drop points, particularly during peak travel periods. This enhancement helps avoid operational chaos and addresses workforce shortages, thereby improving both operational efficiency and passenger satisfaction.
\n
Lastly, this service is part of a broader trend where airports globally are adopting digital solutions to enhance efficiency. Similar to Aeroporti di Roma’s Smart Boarding Initiative mentioned in our June edition or Zurich’s AI security scanners from our July edition, HKIA’s service provides a glimpse into a future where airport experiences are more seamless and frictionless—a long-sought goal by travelers worldwide.
\n\n

July's webinar took place during Farnborough International Airshow week, and while we eagerly waited for aircraft orders to be announced, it was the perfect time to stop and take stock of the Middle East's exciting aviation market today. Perfectly placed to help us look at the data and the stories behind it was Trent Mumford, VP of Aviation at the Saudi Tourism Authority.
\n
Following the usual summary of capacity growth trends, Deirdre, John and Trent dived into the Middle East data with a look at the top 5 largest country markets, where United Arab Emirates has most capacity this month, and all but one - Israel - shows strong growth in Summer 2024 compared to Summer 2023.
\n
\n
Among the many insights shared during the webinar, Trent touched on the Cairo-Jeddah route, which is one of the busiest in the world, and sees a mixed market profile, with labour traffic, religious traffic, high-end tourism and business all being in the mix. Deirdre points out that this is the kind of market airlines strive for- you don't want to be too heavily reliant on any one group.
\n
A look at the data for capacity to Saudi Arabia from China shows that the market is on-track for huge 132% growth in 2024 vs 2023, with the number of inbound seats going from 108,000 in 2023 to 252,000 in 2024. China will play a key part in Saudi Arabia reaching its Vision 2030 tourism targets.

Our latest aviation webinar was a chance to indulge your inner #avgeek, as our experts - regulars John Grant and Deirdre Fulton joined by Courtney Miller from Visual Approach and Sanja Ples from ch-aviation - looked into some top air travel stats around routes and aircraft.
\n\n
The team jumped straight in with conversation around the world's longest non-stop routes. Sanja's looking forward to trying out the current third-longest route from Doha to Auckland this summer! Looking at this particular route, the data shows that though the bulk of traffic originates in Europe, South Africa is an important source market, with about 6,000 people a year traveling from South Africa to Doha and then on to Auckland.
\n
From the longest routes to the aircraft that service them: there are 496 A321-XLRs currently on order, with the first deliveries to IAG who will deploy them on airline routes such as Madrid to Boston and Washington. The maps in the slide below show Madrid and Delhi, with the blue points being currently unserved locations that are within range for the A321-XLR.
\n
\n
When John asks Courtney what he thinks American Airlines and United Airlines will use their new A321-XLRs for, he points out that while we've focused on the large range of this aircraft, he thinks the real benefit that is going to be seen here is in the payload.
\n
As the webinar moved along, the panel covered more topics including:
\n
\n
Narrowbodies vs widebodies for Transatlantic travel.
\n
The shortest widebody routes and flying short-haul with long-haul specialists.
\n
The various configurations airlines are using on the A380 - and the resulting seat density rankings.
\n
Carriers' interesting fifth freedom routes.
\n
The routes with the most stops.
\n
Country pairs with most new routes this summer.
\n
Shifting capacity share from first to business.
\n
The importance of cargo.
\n
And yet more!

Looking at this particular route, the data shows that though the bulk of traffic originates in Europe, South Africa is an important source market, with about 6,000 people a year traveling from South Africa to Doha and then on to Auckland.
\n
From the longest routes to the aircraft that service them: there are 496 A321-XLRs currently on order, with the first deliveries to IAG who will deploy them on airline routes such as Madrid to Boston and Washington. The maps in the slide below show Madrid and Delhi, with the blue points being currently unserved locations that are within range for the A321-XLR.
\n
\n
When John asks Courtney what he thinks American Airlines and United Airlines will use their new A321-XLRs for, he points out that while we've focused on the large range of this aircraft, he thinks the real benefit that is going to be seen here is in the payload.
\n
As the webinar moved along, the panel covered more topics including:
\n
\n
Narrowbodies vs widebodies for Transatlantic travel.
\n
The shortest widebody routes and flying short-haul with long-haul specialists.
\n
The various configurations airlines are using on the A380 - and the resulting seat density rankings.
\n
Carriers' interesting fifth freedom routes.
\n
The routes with the most stops.
\n
Country pairs with most new routes this summer.
\n
Shifting capacity share from first to business.
\n
The importance of cargo.
\n
And yet more!

This month's webinar focuses on the North-East Asia market where there have been some fascinating developments. As peak season approaches, how are some of the biggest and busiest aviation markets in the world such as China, Japan and South Korea performing? John Grant and Deirdre Fulton were joined by Gary Bowerman, director of Check-In Asia and Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Arlt, founder and director of COTRI - China Outbound Tourism Institute.
\n
Having taken the usual look at global capacity - which is climbing slowly but steadily - the panel moved on to regional trends in North-East Asia.
\n
\n
Deirdre explained that global airline capacity in the region (domestic + international) for the year to date is now sitting 5% above where it was in 2019, and +13% on the same period in 2023. Noting that had we had four or five years of growth, the number would be significantly bigger, John adds that many airlines are being hampered by lengthy waits for delivery of new aircraft.
\n
Of the major country markets in North-East Asia, only China has made a full recovery and moved into growth vs the 2019 period, though Gary explains that the pandemic's impact is still affecting this market and that supply and demand patterns are very different to in previous years, making forecasting difficult.
\n
As the webinar moved along there was more discussion around:
\n
\n
Fast growth in China's domestic market, concentrated around the biggest cities.
\n
The importance of China's outbound market for neighbouring countries Japan, South Korea and Chinese Taipei.
\n
The cost to European carriers of routing flights to avoid Russian overflying.

As governments increasingly target domestic air travel across Europe, how are airports responding to this challenge? Catch up with the conversation from our latest aviation webinar, in which OAG's Chief Analyst, John Grant and Partner at Midas Aviation, Deirdre Fulton were joined by Wilco Sweijen, Airline Partnerships Director at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
\n
The webinar started with a look at some of the new rules (since 2020) governing domestic travel in key markets across Europe. These include higher taxation on shorter air journeys in Belgium and Germany and bans on shorter flights where a feasible train alternative is available in Spain, France and Austria.
\n
Bringing in the data, the team then looked at how domestic aviation markets in Europe have changed in recent times.
\n
\n
Over the past five years Spain and Italy have seen an increase in domestic air capacity, while Norway has remained pretty level. The UK's domestic air capacity has fallen by 11%, while big changes have come in the French and German markets, where domestic capacity has reduced by 27% and 45% respectively.
\n
With this considered, the conversation moved to the modes of travel passengers will take as an alternative to going by air. While everyone is united in a desire to improve sustainability and indeed profitability, there are still issues to be ironed out with inter-modal travel, including train capacity, lack of IATA codes and the compatibility of ticketing systems, to name a few.
\n
Watch the full recording of the webinar below to see how the panel think some of these problems can be resolved, and to hear suggestions to make travel more sustainable that could be considered in addition to replacing planes with trains.
