Using airline‐booking data from Sabre, this article documents the proportion of passengers who drive and fly from a hub airport, rather than take a commuter flight. If fewer passengers leaked to a hub, community airports would have more enplanements. Price and quality factors affecting leaks are econometrically estimated for the state of Wyoming. Fare differences, distance between the local airport and hub and the proportion of regional jets making the hub connection are important determinants. Short‐run elasticities are estimated to measure the sensitivity of local air travelers to these factors. Leaks increased after September 11, 2001. (JEL L52, L93)

“…Its performance has improved and it has gained effective control of more routes over the years: 23 routes in 2012. This shows Cathay Pacific's hub dominance 3 in serving the majority of HKIA's key routes; its strong presence has greatly influenced HKIA's connectivity, passenger throughput, and resulting revenue (Homsombat et al, 2011;Kahn, 1993).…”

a b s t r a c tPassenger throughput at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) has shown steady growth since its opening. Various aspects relating to HKIA have been studied in prior literature. This paper investigated changes in HKIA's passenger network for the period of 2001e2012 and used the gravity model to examine the key factors explaining its passenger traffic flows. The findings suggested that HKIA's passenger network has changed significantly and expanded to many new different destinations. Two regions (East Asia and Southeast Asia) were the most important markets for HKIA, and most key destinations connected by Hong Kong showed healthy growth. Nine factors could explain passenger traffic flows between Hong Kong and its key destinations: Hong Kong GDP per capita, GDP per capita of destinations connected by HKIA, distance, airport hub status of the destination airport, tourist destinations connected by HKIA, numbers of passenger airlines in service, bilateral trade flows, speaking a common language and having strong cultural/colonial links with Hong Kong, and the route presence of Cathay Pacific.
