hub and spoke

GBK English to Japanese Other Transport / Transportation / Shipping
Definition from Smartertravel:
A hub and spoke system is one in which an airline designates one or several cities as hubs from which most or all of its flights originate/terminate. Passengers flying from one non-hub city to another usually have to connect through a hub, while passengers living in a hub city have a wealth of nonstop destinations to choose from.
Example sentences:
The bad news for travellers is that the hub and spoke system tends to eliminate a lot of non-stop flights. (everything2.com)
For years the only formula for profits was the hub and spoke system. By pulling in passengers from smaller cities, like Jacksonville, Florida, and Charleston, South Carolina, to one big hub, like Atlanta, an airline could capture traffic for the lucrative long-distance flights across oceans and continents. (Cable News Network)
Many airlines supplement their hub and spoke model with codeshares, partner flights, or a small commuter airline. (wiseGEEK)

ハブアンドスポーク方式

Definition from own experience or research:
自転車の車輪のハブとスポークのように、大型空港を拠点に周辺空港から便を集中させる航空路線システムのこと。<br /><br />あえて造語を作るとすれば、大型空港拠点集中路線システム、とも言える。<br /><br />例文では、大型空港拠点をハブ空港といっているように、それが一般的になってきている。
Example sentences:
千歳や福岡や神戸(A380を飛ばすなら騒音問題も四発機の乗り入れ制限もない神戸の方が有利である。もし神戸空港がA380に対応していないのなら、今すぐにでも改修すべきである。かかった費用はすぐに元が取れる)や那覇をハブ空港にしてA380でそれぞれのハブ空港までピストン輸送すれば、発着枠を大幅に節約できるし、直行便の飛ばない地方空港へ行く際にも1回の乗り継ぎで済むので、他の交通機関と比べれば圧倒的な時間的な優位性が保たれる。 (日本の国内線にハブアンドス�)
