“…Hub airports are usually the home bases of alliance carriers and also the largest airports in the world. However, according to the number of passengers carried, Vienna Airport did not reach the importance of hub airports such as London Heathrow in 2008 [65].…”

Vienna’s geostrategic importance fluctuated through the ages because of the power clashes and subsequent political and socio-economic impacts on the population. This paper assesses its current position in a historical context and then focuses more on the socio-economic dimensions such as interconnectedness and other transport aspects of the geostrategic position. Air and environmentally friendlier modes of passenger transport like high-speed rail are considered and analysed in the European context. This paper also reviews the results and issues dealing with the development of the Vienna Airport and the progress of high-speed railway projects in the Central European Economies (CEEs) after the European Union’s enlargement in 2004. The results suggest that after a restoration period of Vienna’s geostrategic position between 1995–2005, there is currently only a moderate and slowly growing exercise of power, control or influence over the CEEs. The results suggest that there is competition from busier German hub airports as well as the growing importance of CEE airports in transit and growing passenger transport performance figures. The lack of environmentally friendly high-speed infrastructure as a viable option instead of the fastest air travel is preventing Vienna to strengthen its strategic position. Its strategic importance is highly affected by the underdeveloped transport networks in CEEs and the future development of the Vienna Airport as a major transport hub.

“…As argued by Grimme [ 21 , p. 4] in a study on LCC self-connections, non-traditional connections are mostly generated “by chance and not systematically”. Indeed, in a virtually interlined flight network, there is no wave-system structure (see, for example, [ 4 , 5 , 13 , 34 ], for more information on this concept) to maximise the potential for connectivity whilst minimising connecting times (Fig. 1 ).…”

The time cost of saving money: detouring and connecting time losses in the virtually interlined European airport network

Virtual interlining, the use of actively marketed self-connecting flight itineraries, is often assumed to be a money-saving air travel strategy. Earlier research on this topic broadly confirmed the money-saving character of virtual interlining, but to date non-monetary costs associated with this price advantage have not yet been systematically examined. In this paper, we address this lacuna by juxtaposing the price advantage of virtual interlining with the potential time costs for the case of indirect flight itineraries in the European airport network. Focusing on those markets where the cheapest virtually interlined itinerary renders a price advantage over its indirect traditional counterpart, we analyse the time cost from two complementary perspectives: (1) connecting time and (2) detour factor. To this end, we query Kiwi.com’s Tequila platform to obtain data on all available flight itineraries in the first week of August, October and December 2019. Based on a series of sign tests, we reveal the time costs of saving money: while virtually interlined itineraries render a price advantage compared to their indirect traditional counterparts, they come with a significantly larger connecting time and detour factor. We reflect on possible explanations, and highlight a number of avenues for future research.

“…Danesi (2006) proposed a new index, "weighted connectivity ratio", to measure airline hub timetable co-ordination and connectivity according to the so-called "connectivity ratio" by Doganis (2002) with higher accuracy. Mirkovi and Tošić (2016) proposed an extended apron capacity estimation model considering the impacts of wave-system structure. Based on the apron capacity analysis, Mirkovi and Tošić (2017) concluded the impact factors of apron capacity at non-hub and hub airports to define the runway-apron relationship, and considered this relationship in the estimation of airside capacity under the wave-system structure of airlines.…”
