An Appraisal of the Use of Airline Data in Assessing the World City Network: A Research Note on Data

Abstract: Information on air passenger flows is potentially a prime data source for assessing spatial patterns in the world city network, but previous analyses of this issue have been hampered by inadequate and/or partial data. The ensuing analytical deficiencies have reduced the overall value of these analyses. Therefore, this paper examines how some of these deficiencies might be rectified. First, it reviews the rationale for using airline data to analyse the world city network. Secondly, it assesses the problems enco… Show more

“…(Halbert et al, 2012). Sin embargo, se considera preferible utilizar datos relacionales, medidos a partir de flujos (de personas, bienes, información, conocimiento o dinero) entre los distintos núcleos urbanos (Derudder y Witlox, 2005). En esta línea, en algunos casos se han utilizado como información de base las redes de transporte interurbano e internacional, especialmente las conexiones aéreas o los flujos de pasajeros por avión (Derudder y Witlox, 2008;Córdoba Ordóñez y Gago García, 2010, etc.).…”

“…Robinson 2006). Second, most standard airline data are ill-suited for analyses of transnational urban networks because they are structurally flawed (Derudder and Witlox 2005). Besides lacking information on the actual routes flown, these data are far from 'global' given their narrow international/regional focus.…”

“…Thus, it is no surprise that their geographies have been used to invoke a spatial imagery of urban networks (see e.g. Derudder and Witlox 2005, Devriendt et al 2008, Malecki and Hu, 2009. In this paper, we use the transnational connections of major African cities to further develop this air transport-based approach and to investigate the globalization of these cities.…”
