In the current downturn in demand for air travel, major airlines are revising and rationalising their networks in an attempt to improve financial performance and strengthen their defences against both new entrants and traditional rivals. Expansion of commercial agreements or alliances with other airlines has become a key reaction to the increasingly competitive marketplace. In the absence, for regulatory reasons, of cross-border mergers these are the principal means by which the industry can consolidate internationally. The failure of airlines such as Sabena and Swlssair has also enforced restructuring at some of Europe's busier airports. This paper analyses the developments which have been taking place and attempts to identify the implications for airline network structures and the function of different hub airports.
