Abstract

Abstract: This paper presents a detailed empirical description of airport connectivities in four major multiple airport cities (London, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco). Our analysis draws on data derived from a previously largely untapped information source, i.e. the so-called ‘Marketing Information Data Transfer’ (MIDT). This dataset contains information on actually flown transnational routes, which allows for a thorough assessment of the chief connectivity characteristics of specific airports. Combined with information derived from a number of other sources, our results point to functional divisions among airports, both in terms of their geographical scale (e.g. national, regional, and international airports) and their specific role in the airline network (e.g. origin/destination versus hub airports). The implications of the results are discussed, and some avenues for future research are considered. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract

The article presents information related to social and political issues of the world. The speech of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt before the New York State Federation of Labor urging a State-wide system of unemployment insurance is a matter of large importance. The Governor has apparently determined to offer that leadership in the employment crisis, which the Administration at Washington has so conspicuously failed to furnish. If intelligent people will back him vigorously, the foremost industrial State in the Union may turn out to be the first one to develop a modern scheme of protection against unemployment. A considerable number of ridiculous calculations have been published at various times purporting to show that it is safer to travel by air than by rail. The Actuarial Society of America has just issued an interesting report containing real information.
