Merge with Airline hub

Please discuss at Talk:Airline hub - Nabla 22:41, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hub or not?

There appears to have been a bit of a content dispute going on today regarding the hub status of some newly-added airports. Will everyone please note that if content is added, and then is deleted with an explanation in the edit summary, the next step is to discuss it here and not keep re-adding contested information - especially if it is unsourced. I've notified a couple of editors, and I hope to see people discussing it here rather than edit-warring in the article over it. So please, if have added a new airport and have had it removed, tell us what it is here and explain how you know it is a hub... -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:03, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The user involved in adding the Southwest Hub seems to be a vandal only account. He has added a different airline as per [1], and also resorted to personal attacks on his talk page and the article after the low level warnings per [2][3]. So which in this case he may be reported if he continues further. Sb617 (Talk) 22:35, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

table

A sortable table would be much more interesting : it would be possible to sort by airline to see its hubs, to add metrics like number of destinations, of connecting passengers, etc. Here is an exemple for europe : User:Marc_Lacoste/sandbox/Hubs. If there is no opposition to this project, I will transform the list in this form. --08:37, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

I like this 02ChunksHM (talk) 16:26, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I like this idea. Then we could sort by number of flights, number of passengers/year, number of airlines, m^2 area, or revenue. 193.16.224.9 (talk) 20:56, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Where?

Any chance of at least adding more to the airport locations? I mean, outside of Luxembourg and similar, it's generally useful to know more than either an unfamiliar complex's name or simply the country that airport is in, especially if you're trying to map a large number of locales.

Inaccurate information

While I don't feel comfortable doing the editing, I can say this list is rather inaccurate. An example is: Southwest has 11 total bases (their name for hubs). Those are Phoenix, LA, Oakland, Denver, Orlando, Atlanta, Chicago (MDW), Baltimore, Vegas, Dallas and Houston (Hobby) - going off the order they'd appear on the page. They also have two smaller, sub bases of sorts, Austin and Fort Lauderdale. This list does not include Hobby, one of Southwest's oldest bases, nor does it include FLL or AUS. It does, oddly, include Nashville, Tampa and San Diego - all of which are not, and never have been, bases for Southwest. There is also no obvious clarification of the term 'focus city', which seems to be used liberally here to call things hubs that are nothing of the sort. No flight crew is based at any of those three stations I listed above and they are not maintenance stations for Southwest either. They may be airports with a higher amount of traffic from a certain airline, but that does not make it a hub and just skews the data. Based off the knowledge of this one airline, I don't think it's unreasonable to assume there are likely other glaring errors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krose513 (talk • contribs) 06:50, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
