Talk:Airline hub

message: It would be worthwhile knowing when the hub concept was initiated.  Before there were transcontinental non-stop flights, there were also no hubs.  I believe that the hub strategy came about during the age of consolidation of several airlines as a route management tool.  Any other thoughts?

thread_title: Hub Strategic Initiation

message: I've cut the most glaring examples of focus cities in the North America section. To be included here, the airport should be llisted as either hub or secondary hub on the wiki article dealing with the airline. Jon 18:32, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Focus city|Focus Cities]] are not Hubs

message: Arent the lists at this article's section "Major passenger airlines and their hubs", and at List of hub airports the same? If so I think they should be merged. - Nabla 22:43, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Support - I think the list should be merged in here. I like the format of the other list better, although it needs cleaning up as it has quite a bit of false information. People have added airlines as hubbing out of an airport when they have a couple point-to-point flights. DB (talk) 05:30, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

text: REJECT - The two articles are completely different!  This article is sorted BY CARRIER!!  The other article is sorted GEOGRAPHICALLY!!  These are HUGE and NON-TRIVIAL differences!  Must keep both articles.  Thanks! --Inetpup 16:43, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge with List of hub airports 

message: Hello everybody, I created a diagram for an airport hub in the German Wikipedia, if you are interested, I could build up an English captioned version and add it to the article. Just let me know ;-) http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Frankfurt_airport_hub_map_v2.png --Upon a tree (talk) 16:42, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Add a picture? 

message: A Scissors Hub is where a passenger can make a connection from their originating airline to another if the originating airline doesn't have traffic rights in the further area. That was all I could find. There is not much information on what these are out there.Theeditorofallthingswikipedia (talk) 18:58, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scissors Hub 

message: Just a note: ATL is not a fortress hub for Delta Airlines. Delta accounts for 56% of operations at ATL according to the Wikipedia article on ATL, which is well below the standard 70% needed for a fortress hub. I'm dropping a note here only because someone added ATL back to the fortress list (months) after I had originally removed it. A fortress hub implies that an airline has monopoly presence at an airport. While the Delta hub at Atlanta is the world's largest hub, ATL is so large that it still is not a monopoly presence.

message: Can someone explain to me how both AA and UA can claim ORD as a "fortress hub"?  I know it's the Windy City, but it's not windy enough to carry 140% of its own traffic. 173.196.56.2 (talk) 23:19, 27 October 2011 (UTC)

message: I had somehow gotten the impression that an airline's hub(s) are also where they keep their maintenance crews and facilities. Is that the case, that all hubs do maintenance and non-hubs don't have dedicated maintenance facilities? Abductive (reasoning) 07:05, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Maintenance facilities 

message: This merge was proposed by  back in May; I support it and am adding a discussion here along with a note on the top of this, the destination article.
As far as I can see, the term is essentially a derivative term of "hub". The material on that page is useful, however, and would provide a good template for further expansion of the explanations provided the types listed on this page. Triptothecottage (talk) 06:13, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
