QSI Models to Analyse the Competitiveness of China Leading Hub Airports

Abstract

Secondary international hub airports in China have become rising stars. Especially after 13th -Five-Year Plan, a positive policy launched by Civil Aviation Administration of China(CAAC), ten leading international hub airports are assigned officially, which seven of them are secondary hub airports. The decision is hoping these airports can play a pivotal role in connecting other regions worldwide based on their respective geographical advantages. So we want to make sense of such ten airports whether each airport has meet its role function, or having room for promotion. Applying QSI model, we do the analysis of transfer competition from China to other regions and backward through these hubs. The results show that the secondary international hub airports in China still needs to make great progress if they want to be better.
