Evaluation of the resilience of air transportation network with adaptive capacity
Securing network resilience of air transportation system is essential to provide a stable level of service as one of major transport modes carrying international passengers and freights. In 2014, about 851 million passengers and 39 billion pounds of freights were delivered by over 9.5 million flight...

Securing network resilience of air transportation system is essential to provide a stable level of service as one of major transport modes carrying international passengers and freights. In 2014, about 851 million passengers and 39 billion pounds of freights were delivered by over 9.5 million flights in the United States. As seen in Iceland volcano eruption in 2010, a deficiency of hub airports can bring a huge impact on the whole transport system and even on the world economy. So how the failure of individual node affects the overall network resilience is an important issue to study. Air transportation is known to be a scale-free network, which has few of hubs having high degree. So it is relatively robust against failure but vulnerable to targeted attack on a hub.
