Recently, emerging airline companies providing frequent point-to-point (PP) flight services have proven to be more profitable than those operating hub-spoke (HS) networks. Customers can enjoy more flexibility to arrange their itinerary by choosing PP flights. The strategic complementarity appeared in customers' choices of air carriers brings about thick-market externality. In the markets where thick market externality works, more customers choose PP flights, more frequent PP flights become available. Thus, the positive feedback mechanisms could be geared in by economy of frequency. In this paper, a market equilibrium model with economy of frequency is presented to investigate the comparative advantage of PP networks over HS networks. The de-hub mechanism where PP networks takes over HS networks is also investigated.

REFUNCTIONING PROPOSALS OF AIRPORTS AND AVIATION BUILDINGS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE: CASE OF ISTANBUL ATATURK AIRPORT Uraz, Can; Zelef, Mustafa Haluk; Department of Architecture (2021-9-09) Progress and expansion on the aviation industry in the recent times force airports and aviation buildings to either be improved or be abandoned. Considering the latest statistics of vacant airports and different effects emerging lately all over the world, it can be predicted that the pressure on the physical spaces of aviation will increasingly continue. However, since “airport” as a new typology appearing from the early 20th century could satisfy the expectations of the industry up to recent past, abandonm...
Air passenger demand forecasting for planned airports, case study : Zafer and Or-gi airports in Turkey Yazıcı, Rıza Onur; Acar, Soner Osman; Gökdalay, Meriç; Department of Civil Engineering (2011) The economic evaluation of a new airport investment requires the use of estimated future air passenger demand.Today it is well known that air passenger demand is basicly dependent on various socioeconomic factors of the country and the region where the planned airport would serve. This study is focused on estimating the future air passenger demand for planned airports in Turkey where the historical air passsenger data is not available.For these purposses, neural networks and multi-linear regression were use...
Robust Airline Scheduling with Controllable Cruise Times and Chance Constraints Duran, A. Serasu; Gürel, Sinan; Akturk, M. Selim (2015-01-02) Robust airline schedules can be considered as flight schedules that are likely to minimize passenger delay. Airlines usually add an additional time-e.g., schedule padding-to scheduled gate-to-gate flight times to make their schedules less susceptible to variability and disruptions. There is a critical trade-off between any kind of buffer time and daily aircraft productivity. Aircraft speed control is a practical alternative to inserting idle times into schedules. In this study, block times are considered in...
A risk-sensitive approach for airline network revenue management problems Çetiner, Demet; Köksalan, Murat; Department of Industrial Engineering (2007) In this thesis, airline network revenue management problem is considered for the case with no cancellations and overbooking. In literature, there exist several approximate probabilistic and deterministic mathematical models developed in order to maximize expected revenue at the end of the reservation period. The aim of this study is to develop models considering also the risks involved in the proposed booking control policies. Two linear programming models are proposed which incorporate the variance of the ...
Airline network structure with thick market externality Yetişkul Şenbil, Emine; Kobayashi, K (2005-01-01) In the past decade, low-cost carriers that offer point-to-point connections with frequent services have been consistently more profitable than those operating hub-and-spoke networks. Therefore, we study the advantages of each network as compared with the other. In addition to actual fares, time costs also affect the consumers' preferences, so the increase in flight frequency causes an increase in demand Besides, the more passengers the airline carries, the more frequent services it offers. Thus, a positive ...
