Desk Study - ACP-CAAC AIRPORT DEPARTMENT HUBBING STUDY, through Montgomery Consulting Group, Inc. This $5,000 Desk Study reviews a preliminary concept proposal for a feasibility study (FS) analyzing hubbing structure at major Chinese airports in Beijing and Shanghai. Currently, Chinese airports have limited capacity for minimizing connection times, optimizing runway and airspace use, reducing physical distance between arriving and departing flights, and efficiently managing the processing of passengers through security. As a result, passengers on U.S.-China flight routes often must pass through third country hubs on their way to secondary Chinese cities, leading to higher costs and reduced competitiveness for U.S. and Chinese carriers. An FS is neccessary to best assess and ameliorate these challenges in China's aviation industry to improve airport capacity and expand opportunities for U.S. and Chinese airlines.
