AIRLINE SERVICE TO NON-HUB AIRPORTS TEN YEARS AFTER DEREGULATION

Contrary to many accounts in the popular press, air service to non-hub cities (when measured by the number of flights and nonstop destinations) generally has improved since deregulation. Moreover, these traditional measures of airline service understate the gains since deregulation. Because flights to large hubs generally are more valuable because they allow the non-hub traveller to connect to many different destinations, a measure better suited to the modern airline network is the number of possible daily connections. Even the smallest cities in the sample enjoyed a very large increase in the number of possible connections.
