Abstract
Air transport markets are composed of airlines' networks through their base airports. The analysis of an air transport market has been focusing on determining the efficiency or competitiveness of airports or airlines in the market using number of routes, number of passengers, transfer rates, revenues, costs, and other data. However, little work has been done in analyzing the airport network itself. Assuming the air transport markets of Korea, China, and Japan are integrated, this paper aims to analyze the characteristics of the resulting airport network. To that end, the degree of connectivity, the degree of closeness, and the betweenness of centrality are employed. The analysis shows that Incheon International Airport is better than most other airports in terms of the degree of connectivity and that of closeness. Airports in Japan, however, exhibit strong connectivity but weak closeness and betweenness of centrality. Although it has low connectivity, Shenyang Airport has a possibility of becoming an attractive point of the integrated market in the future due to its high degree of closeness.
