La calidad de los hubs de América Latina

Lipovich, Gustavo

Resúmenes

La medición de la calidad de los hubs, es una tarea que se encuentra en pleno desarrollo con importantes innovaciones que se fueron sucediendo en los últimos años. Sin embargo, el estudio basado en América Latina, exige de ciertas calibraciones en las metodologías más aceptadas, por las propias particularidades del mercado aerocomercial de la región analizada. En este sentido, se retoman las consideraciones básicas respecto al concepto hub, que son útiles para la correcta interpretación de un término que cuenta con acepciones variadas. El objetivo es hacer un análisis comparativo de la calidad de los hubs, estudiando la concentración temporal de las operaciones, en base a las conexiones indirectas realizadas por una misma línea aérea. Los resultados de esta medición, realizada sobre un total de 60 hubs latinoamericanos, muestran que no es posible trazar vinculaciones directas o tendencias generales respecto a indicadores de calidad operativa de hubs.

The measurement of hub quality is a continuous growing activity with significant innovations that take place in recent years. Therefore, the study based in Latin America, needs some calibrations in most of the accepted methodologies, because of the own particularities of the airline market of the analyzed region. In this sense, basic considerations related with the hub concept are reviewed, because it is useful to make correct interpretations of a term that have multiple meanings. The objective consists on the realization of a comparative analysis of hub quality by studying the temporal concentration of flows, based on indirect online connections. The results of this measurement made over 60 Latin American hubs, shows that it is not possible to make direct relations or general trends in respect to hub operative quality.
