The airlines reorganization will accelerate the switch of the Chinese mainland civil aviation system from a former point-to-point (PP) structure to a hub-and-spoke (HS) network. In such a context, the major efforts of our paper are put into identifying hub airports in mainland China. We first analyze the HS network's competitive advantages and find four desirable hub characteristics. A three-level method is developed to incorporate the required hub features and are applied to the hub airport planning. Roles of the hubs in the planning scheme are mainly in three categories. Further discussion is extended to network adjustment as well as its dynamic evolution.
