THE FEASIBILITY OF ALTERNATIVE HUBBING IN THE CASE OF A MAJOR SCHEDULE DISTURBANCE: A CASE STUDY USING AUSTIN AS A RELIEVER-HUB FOR DALLAS/FT. WORTH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Alternative strategies are evaluated to reassign and optimize airport and airline schedules when experiencing a disruptive disturbance at a major hub airport and still maintain a reasonable service. One such option is to temporarily use a nearby airport to act as a connecting hub, which can help reduce delays caused by the major hub's closure. This airport would be known as a "reliever hub". Another option is a scheme referred to as a floating hub concept whereby connecting aircraft would over-fly the hub and differently sized aircraft are dynamically swapped onto alternative routings throughout the system enabling passengers to connect through alternative hubs. A Network flow approach is used for the schedule allocation and to quantify the costs of the various operating strategies using the case of the new Austin Bergstrom International Airport as a reliever hub for Dallas/Ft. Worth International Airport.
