Smartertravel:
A hub and spoke system is one in which an airline designates one or several cities as hubs from which most or all of its flights originate/terminate. Passengers flying from one non-hub city to another usually have to connect through a hub, while passengers living in a hub city have a wealth of nonstop destinations to choose from.
Example sentences:
The bad news for travellers is that the hub and spoke system tends to eliminate a lot of non-stop flights. (everything2.com)
For years the only formula for profits was the hub and spoke system. By pulling in passengers from smaller cities, like Jacksonville, Florida, and Charleston, South Carolina, to one big hub, like Atlanta, an airline could capture traffic for the lucrative long-distance flights across oceans and continents. (Cable News Network)
Many airlines supplement their hub and spoke model with codeshares, partner flights, or a small commuter airline. (wiseGEEK)

E. Džamdžič:
Pomembnejša letališča so določena za žarišča, ker je na njih mogoče ugodno povezati pristanke in vzlete letal iste družbe v krajšem časovnem obdobju. Z žariščnimi letališči so povezana vsa letališča, do njih vodijo vsi poleti, potnikom pa omogočajo dobre povezave do svojih ciljev potovanja. To omogoča potnikom boljšo storitev, saj je možnosti kombiniranja prog zelo veliko, večja je tudi pogostost poletov. Prevoznik pridobi konkurenčno prednost, bolje lahko izkoristi kombiniranje prevoza potnikov, blaga in pošte. Žariščna letališča pozitivno vplivajo tudi na storitve in dejavnosti, ki so povezane z zračnim prevozom, to je zlasti turizem.
Example sentences:
Ryanair leti le od točke do točke, s tem se izogne kompliciranemu sistemu povezav preko žariščnih točk, premeščanju prtljage in potnikov iz enega letala v drugega, kar še vedno velja za največjo težavo letalskih prevoznikov, in s tem zmanjša število potrebnega osebja. (M. Grabnar)
