Domestic Airline Hubs?

[shamrock838]

Greetings,

Am I correct in assuming the following domestic hubs ... or home ... airports:
EWR - Continental Airlines ... JFK - Jet Blue Airways ... PHL - US Airways ... DFW - American Airlines?

How best to determine some of the other domestic airline airport hubs? Thanks.

Since when is JFK not a Delta hub?

[tipek]

But if you are talking about DOMESTIC airline hubs do you mean hubs with mostly domestic service or domestic airlines as domestic local from US?
Otherwise I would say:
CLE - Continental
CVG - Delta
MEM - Northwest
SLC - Delta
MKE - Midwest

American: JFK? Since they have a lot of birds there.

MEM - Northwest


Wrong. DTW has the most NW international AND domestic traffic ;) as well as most of their heavy maintenance

PIT is no longer a hub for US, it was dehubbed over a year ago and further flight reductions are scheduled. WN does not have hubs, while they may have a large presence at the airports you mentioned WN does not consider them hubs. If you were to call those cities hubs for WN you left off the two busiest LAS and PHX, you could also throw in LAX, MCO, FLL, TPA, etc. WN doesn't operate a Hub and spoke system, its mainly point to point with some cities much larger then others. LGB is a far far stretch from a traditional hub, hell it doesn't even have jet ramps, LGB is an O&D city.

WN operates what we call Mega Stations, a Mega Station would be for SWA..

MDW, PHX, LAS, BWI, MCO, OAK, DAL and HOU, of the Mega Stations, LAS is the only one that does not have a crew base, and that is about to change also.

Both of you are wrong Re: Delta

Corporate Stats: (showing JFK as one of its hubs and then also as one of its Int'l Gateways)

JFK is a Focus City for Delta not a Hub

Delta does classify JFK as a international hub, Delta has 30 gates, connections from over 20 U.S cities to over 20 international cities makes JFK a hub for Delta.

If you are referring to US Airlines (domestic) and not US hubs, Continental also has a hub in Guam. Although this is technically Air Micronesia which is wholly owned and operated by CO and CO pilots and flight attendants that chose the Guam hub operate the flights.

IAH is the largest hub with 736 total departures (324 CO and 410 BTA) and location of headquarters.
EWR is the next largest with 432 total departures (246 CO and 186 BTA)
CLE is next with 222 but only 46 of them are CO.
GUM has about 20

IBERIA, AirTran's Principal hub is Atlanta, however, they are based in Orlando.
