동북아 중심국가 정립에 필수적인 요인으로 반드시 인천국제공항을 동북아의 물류기지화 해야 하는 사명을 안고 있기에 물류중심지를 위한 개발 중 현재 진행 중인 공항의 물류배후단지 개발과 물류허브화 전략에 대한 고찰이 본 연구의 주요내용이다. 항공물류 허브화를 위한 공항배후단지 개발 계획 및 전략을 평가하기 위해서 국내외 항공물류 현황과 전망을 분석하였고, 동북아 경쟁국들의 항공물류현황을 조사하였다. 또한 이미 배후단지 개발을 통해 허브공항으로 성공하고 있는 선진공항의 사례를 분석함으로써 현재 추진 중인 항공물류 허브화를 위한 공항 배후단지 개발 전략을 평가하였다. 이러한 국가적 차원의 중차대한 항공 물 물류 허브화 계획을 기업, 또는 관련 이익단체의 측면에서 다각도로 논의의 초점을 맞추고 인천국제공항의 물류허브화 계획을 점검해보고자 한다. 따라서 인천공항에서 계획하고 수행되고 있는 허브화 계획과 이미 물류허브화를 성공적으로 이루어낸 국가의 공항들을 모델을 통해 분석하고 우리나라와 경쟁적 관계에 있는 동아시아의 물류허브기지들을 고찰해 봄으로서 우리의 계획이 보다 적절하게 준비되는가와 실제적인 효과를 거둘 수 있는 지원차원에 초점을 맞추고자 한다.

동북아시아지역에서 인천국제공항이 최고의 허브공항으로서 역할을 위해서는 무엇보다도 환승율에 대한 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다. 인천국제공항은 2005년도에 3,054,485만명의 환승여객을 처리하여 환승율은 11.9% 를 기록하였는데 이는 동북아시아의 경쟁허브공항의 환승율인 30-40%와 비교해보면 공항경쟁력이 상당히 뒤쳐진다고 할 수 있다. 이러한 약점을 보완하기 위하여 여러 가지 관련 인자들을 검토하는 것이 중요하다고 판단되어지는데 그중에서 인천국제공항의 비행편최소연결시간(MCT)을 개선하는 것이 필요하다. 이러한 문제를 개선하기 위해서는 항공기 스케줄, 항공사 배치, 게이트 배정방법, 수하물처리, 여객 동선 등이 함께 검토되어야 할 것이다. 그러나 이러한 인자들에 대한 세부적인 분석이 단기간에 걸쳐 해결되는 문제가 아니기 때문에 본 연구에서는 외국 허브공항의 MCT 수준, 관리방법, 국외사례 등을 고찰해 보고 동북아시아에서 허브공항을 향한 인천국제공항의 환승율 제고차원에서 정책적 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

The construction of Incheon International Airport(IIA) was planned in order to meet the national air transport demand which has been rapidly increased, and to be a major hub airport in Northeast Asia. However, it is inevitable to compete with Japanese airports because Japanese government also planned to expand greatly the airport capacity in Tokyo area and Kansai Airport in Osaka area. Since a hub airport should have convenient connecting flights to spoke cities, it is required for IIA to have plenty of short-haul flights to the cities around Seoul, for example, to the cities in East China, Japan and other East Asian countries. IIA authority and Korean national air carriers should coordinate to develop air transport demand for short-haul international route and establish efficient hub-spoke flight schedules. This would be a essential precondition to function as a hinterland hub in Northeast Asia. Reflecting the geographical position, the function as a hourglass hub could be possible, if IIA is utilised by major airlines as a bridge to connect passengers between cities in Southeast Asia and 'cities in North America. To be a successful hourglass hub, the Korean national carriers must try to engage in the joint operations or the alliances with the major airlines of Southeastern countries or North American countries. All of these could be accomplished through the cooperation among government, airport and national air carriers.

As globalization is making rapid progress, place of international trade based on seaports is changing to airports, which make logistic function in airport getting more important. Airports are required to serve as social overhead capital representing economies of scale as well as a logistic hub for integrating production, sales and transport for multinational corporations. In order to keep regional airport hub, many strategies are required such as development of hinterland and competitive advantage strategies. This paper tried to find determining factors to be a hub airport and competitiveness for hubbing, using the data from Incheon, Narita, Kansai, Nagoya, Singapore-Changi and Taipei airports. As the result of making an analysis of competitiveness of airports and competitive ranking excluding hinterland factors.

Recently. large number of countires have been focused on the construction of container seaport and hub airport to enrole as the center of logistics. In particular, the East Asian nations have been enhanced their airports' facilities in order to accommodate for demand of global market environment. In Korea, Incheon International Airport (ICN) was opened in 2001 to take leading role as the Northeast Asian main hub airport. The purpose of this research is to analyze the transferring connectivity at ICN. To analyze its connectivity, this research has been applies two methodologies ; wane structure and minimum or maximun connection time analysis It has analyzed the temporal configuration as the frequency and quality of indirect connections offered by an airline by adopting a wave-system structure in the airline flight schedule. As an empirical analysis, it also calculated the minimum and maximum connection time adopting Korean Air's flight information.

Through open-sky policy, USA and European selected market principle of multiuser. However, in Asian case, major airlines monopolize airports. It is purpose that analyzes fare competition of Asian Hub Airport and the position of Incheon airport in Asia. Passengers required longer time and distance to go to the destination because direct flights decreases. But passengers increased in airport every year. Because of routes that decrease, airlines provide more services of flights. So airlines prefer to Hub Airports. As a result, both passengers and airlines are profitable by various routs and the increased frequency. On the assumption that distance and fare are related, the final formula is as following that defined the air fare from hub(H) to destination(Z) by logarithm. Analysis showed that log Rdist is not 1 but 0.08. As distance increases, fare doesn't increase. If distance from hub to destination airports is longer, Log dist_HZ is negative. It is that fare decreases from origin to destination via hub or that fare increases from hub to destination. HHI_HZ and HHI_AZ are negative. It means that if the degree of monopolization of hub and origin airports is lager, fare decreases from origin to destination via hub. Or fare increases from hub to destination. And it compares the Incheon airport with the other Asian hub airports and it examines the competitive fare by market division. As compared with the Incheon airport, Singapore, Beijing and Narita airports are higher fares. They compete with the other ones by Asian hub airports. But Hong Kong and Taipei airports must have more passengers through fare competition yet.

After the deregulation of the aviation market in the United States in 1978, airlines took advantage of the possibilities of the liberalized market and reorganized their networks. Then, the hub-and-spoke networks became widely used in the aviation market. The framework of hub-and-spoke network made it feasible to amplify flight networks. Thus, a number of airlines were able to fly to more destinations than ever before through the networks. Amplification of networks can be implementing through the transfer of passengers, transshipment of cargo, or both most researches have been concentrated on the passenger aspect at airports worldwide. Air cargo, however, has become one of the most significant areas at hub airports to keep their leading position in terms of the provision of services and handling volumes. This paper investigates the connectivity of airfreight networks as the temporal concentrations in current network at Incheon International Airport. In order to evaluate airline flight schedule effects to stimulate hubbing at an airport, the indirect connectivity can be considered to be the number of direct frequencies, the minimum connecting times and the quality of the connection determine indirect connectivity. Therefore the connectivity of freight transshipment depends on both the quality of the connection at the hub airport and the quality of the indirect flight compared to the direct flight. In addressing these issues, this paper analyzes the connectivity of flight schedules using a temporal wave-system structure and estimates the degree of connectivity and quality of connectivity applying the NETSCAN model.

This case study explores the stock sale, the resulting governance structures, and the airport management and development in Beijing Capital International Airport and Shanghai International Airport at Pudong. It is imperative for Incheon International Airport Corporation (IIAC) to change the management paradigm to survive in the changing environment and to become hubs in the relevant regions. And IIAC needs to search for the new ownership and governance structure to cope with the internal and external demands for innovation. In this study, along with the recent trends of the global airport industry, we suggest the implications for the IIAC's major decisions, especially, for the stock sale, the resulting governance structure, and the airport development and management. It is suggested that Korean government retain the majority control in the process of privatization to keep IIAC as a government-owned enterprise to provide the public goods to the citizen. Furthermore, to maximize the value of stock sale, IIAC needs to decide strategically the time and speed in the hybrid form of stock selling using trade sale and IPOs.
