English term or phrase: hub and spoke
Definition from Smartertravel:
A hub and spoke system is one in which an airline designates one or several cities as hubs from which most or all of its flights originate/terminate. Passengers flying from one non-hub city to another usually have to connect through a hub, while passengers living in a hub city have a wealth of nonstop destinations to choose from.

Example sentence(s):
  • The bad news for travellers is that the hub and spoke system tends to eliminate a lot of non-stop flights. everything2.com
  • For years the only formula for profits was the hub and spoke system. By pulling in passengers from smaller cities, like Jacksonville, Florida, and Charleston, South Carolina, to one big hub, like Atlanta, an airline could capture traffic for the lucrative long-distance flights across oceans and continents. Cable News Network
  • Many airlines supplement their hub and spoke model with codeshares, partner flights, or a small commuter airline. wiseGEEK

trafikknudepunkt


Definition from Konkurrencestyrelsen Danmark:
8 Hub and spoke betyder nav og eger og symboliserer, at selskaberne har trafikknudepunkter i en enkelt eller nogle få meget store (luft)havne, hvorfra mindre linjer betjener mindre havne.

Example sentence(s):
  • De etablerede selskaber har i dag opbygget såkaldte "hub and spoke"- netværk. "Hub and spoke" betyder nav og eger. Navnet hentyder til, at selskaberne har en hovedlufthavn (hub), hvorfra de flyver til alle destinationer (spokes). Før liberaliseringen skete en større del af trafikken med direkte ruter, jf. figur 4.1. I Europa var strukturen også før liberaliseringen organiseret i hub and spoke-netværk. Det skyldes i vidt omfang, at de europæiske luftfartsselskaber hidtil har haft hjemsted i hvert sit land. - Konkurrencestyrelsen Danmark  
  • Adm. direktør i Københavns Lufthavn, Brian Petersen, har svært ved at få armene ned af begejstring over interessen for lufthavnen. »De mange selskaber, som satser på Københavns Lufthavn, er gode nyheder i forhold til at udbygge Københavns Lufthavns position som skandinavisk hub (centralt trafikknudepunkt, red.),« siger Brian Petersen. - Berlingske Tidende  
  • CPH’s position som Skandinaviens hub er styrket fra flere fronter Københavns position som Skandinaviens trafikknudepunkt styrkes ikke alene af den nye rute til JFK. Alene i år er en direkte rute til Doha åbnet, og ruter til Toronto og Kairo er på vej. - Ferie Hele Verden Danmark
