Abstract
This paper examines the role played by two regional air passenger centers, Kiev and Tashkent, in the USSR's hierarchical air passenger transport system. Number of nonstop flight connections, frequency of service, and population and distance characteristics of cities serviced are analyzed and compared for both cities and with Moscow. The distribution of traffic in Kiev and Tashkent is explained as a function of complementarity (population and distance) and this premise is tested using a gravity model and other indicators. The authors examine service not only over the national system but also over the “local” networks.
