Abstract: With the rapid development of global connectivity and air transport industry, more and more attention was paid to building global air hubs by nearly all of the governments or airport authorities around the world these years. At the same time, they launched fierce competition in the process of exploring and building global air hubs.But orienting confusion and trend-following blindly may cause a lot of strategic misdirection and hidden dangers.The word “hub” is redefined and the global hubs are classified into four types and analyzed deeply in details. Finally, common features are summarized as reference for hub planning and building in future.

Key words: air hubs, matrix, feature, classification

摘要： 随着全球连通性的不断加强和航空运输业的迅速发展，以及人们对于规模经济的进一步认识和重视，全球各国对于建设全球型航空枢纽的想法越来越坚决，在探索和建设航空枢纽过程中展开了激烈的竞争，定位不清和盲目跟风会为机场建设带来很多战略性错误和后期发展隐患。为此重新定义“枢纽”一词，基于源矩阵，深入探索全球顶尖大型航空枢纽分类和共有规律，为枢纽机场的规划和建设提供参考。
