Summary | Air connectivity in general can be defined as the ability and ease for passengers and freight to reach destinations through air transport. It is crucial for facilitating trade, tourism, investment, and economic growth, and a good index to measure the performance is valuable for evaluating the efficiency of airports. In the literature, themainstream approach, the network quality models, involves a set of sophisticated rules to convert the flight schedules into a connectivity index of airports in terms of the flight counts, which are adjusted by several factors (such as seat capacity or transit |
