ABSTRACT

The average delay time of local airlines in China's hub airports is shorter than that of other airlines operating at the same airport. However, by now, no scholars in the academic community can support such research through accurate data. This paper aims to propose solutions to the problems that cannot be measured between different types of airlines and specific airports based on aviation big data drive and to explore the differences of flight delay propagation level between local airlines and other airlines in the same airport, i.e., the host guest field effect. Specifically, it reveals the delay propagation differences of different airlines in the same airport under the same conditions, finds out the description index of the host guest effect, and answers the existing form and distribution characteristics of the host guest effect. In addition, we also compared the delay data of the United States hub airport, and explained the problem of whether the main and passenger field effects only exist in the Chinese aviation market.
