Abstract
Hub airports are the ones that model networks in which most journeys go via a few central points. Famous hub airports deliver positive social and environmental impact to the communities along with economic effects. This paper is about to investigate indicators related to hub performance excellence from various angles, considering leading hub airports performance while determining the priorities in order to help airports especially in developing countries to find the way of progress. A list of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) is prepared from the literature, which is prioritized using Best-Worst Method (BWM). The weights of these criteria are specified via application of interval type-2 fuzzy BWM. Then using five most important criteria, MACBETH (Measuring Attractiveness by a Categorical Based Evaluation TecHnique) ranking approach is used to analyse 19 Iranian international airports and find the most appropriate one for being hub airport. The results show Kish airport with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) code “OIBK” is prior to other airports and can be chosen as the hub airport that means Iran airports holding company is suggested to focus more investments in this airport to gain fastest possible benefits of an international hub airport.
Highlights
Nowadays, airport traffic is much more uncertain and every government has become aware of the importance of hub airport presence in their country because of its various benefits for airlines, passengers, local people and the whole country (Shojaei et al 2018; Scholz, Von Cossel 2011)

Some of them have difficulties in preserving local species. Gaining such characteristics makes the airport more sustainable and this is while previous studies show that hub airports usually have more effective sustainability performance (Carlucci et al 2018; Scholz, Von Cossel 2011)
Summary
Airport traffic is much more uncertain and every government has become aware of the importance of hub airport presence in their country because of its various benefits for airlines, passengers, local people and the whole country (Shojaei et al 2018; Scholz, Von Cossel 2011). Hub airports are the ones that model networks in which most journeys go via a few central points. The excellence of the international airport to become the passenger hub and make connections to other regions in the world is the most important criteria to decrease operating costs for the aviation business (Jantachalobon, Suthikarnnarunai 2015). It should be noted that economic effects of successful hub airports have incredible role in financial gaining of the countries Pishdar et al A mixed interval type-2 fuzzy best-worst MACBETH approach to choose hub airport
