Title: Network Measures in Civil Air Transport: A Case Study of Lufthansa
Abstract: Air transport networks have exhibited a trend towards complex dynamics in recent years. Using Lufthansa’s networks as an example, this paper aims to illustrate the relevance of various network indicators – such as connectivity and concentration – for the empirical analysis of airline network configurations. The results highlight the actual strategic choices made by Lufthansa for its own net-work, as well in combination with its partners in Star Alliance.
Keywords: air transport, complex networks, connectivity, concentration, Lufthansa
