Fageda, Xavier, 1975-Flores-Fillol, Ricardo2017-03-022019-01-312016-010166-0462https://hdl.handle.net/2445/107690In this paper, we investigate the relationship between airline network structure and airport congestion. More specifically, we study the ways in which airlines adjust frequencies to delays (as a measure of airport congestion) depending on the network type they operate. Our results suggest that network structure has a fundamental impact. Thus, while airlines operating fully-connected configurations reduce frequencies in response to more frequent delays, airlines operating hub-and-spoke structures increase frequencies. Therefore, network airlines have incentives to keep frequencies high even if this is at the expense of a greater congestion at their hub airports. This result sheds light on previously unclear results in the literature.9 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Elsevier B.V., 2016http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/esTransport aeriAeroportsLogística industrialCommercial aeronauticsAirportsBusiness logisticsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6575142017-03-02info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
