Abstract
This study utilizes the global flight schedules over a period of one week to identify and evaluate all possible connections, including online, interline and passenger self-connections and assess their feasibility and practicality in terms of total travel time between two cities, transit time, flying distances, connection types, airport accessibility, airline services, and origin/destination markets. Using the feasible connections, this research then ranked and assessed Top 50 airports by connectivity potential and self-connection potential. It showed the conditions under which an airline should make strategic partnerships with other airlines and/or with the connecting airports to offer more transfer opportunities that have not been possible by the traditional interline agreements. The framework developed in this research can help airlines and airports identify and optimize their connectivity potentials and develop strategic partnerships.
