English term

hub and spoke

GBK English to Macedonian 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)

центар и краци

Definition from own experience or research:
Во системот на центар и краци, авиопревозникот назначува еден или неколку градови како центри од кој поаѓаат (или до кој пристигнуваат) најголемиот дел или сите негови летови. Патниците кои летаат од еден до друг град кој не е центар, обично мора да се поврзат преку град-крак, додека пак патниците кои живеат во град-центар имаат на располагање голем број на дестинации до кои може да патуваат со еден лет.
Example sentences:
Mega-carriers in the United States and elsewhere operate out of their home base airports applying the "hub and spoke" system which employs large banks or complexes of interconnecting flights to maximize the number of city-pair markets that can be served by each flight. Мега-превозниците во САД и во други земји ги изведуваат своите операции од нивните базни аеродроми применувајќи го системот на „центар и краци“ кој користи големи групи односно комплекси на меѓуповрзани летови со цел максимално да се зголеми бројот на поврзани градови кои може да бидат опслужени со секој лет.
