Abstract

Abstract:Using data on 12 months of operations, Amazon Air's network is contrasted to the domestic networks of FedEx Express and UPS Airlines. Amazon Air has a lower network density than the other two airlines, and its geography is more strongly related to Amazon's distribution centers. Like UPS and FedEx, Amazon has placed its main hub at a location in the central United States: first Wilmington, Ohio and more recently Cincinnati. The acceleration of online retail trade since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic may encourage other digitally native or incumbent retail firms to develop their own air distribution networks. The criteria that distinguish Amazon Air's gateway airports are identified and then those criteria are applied to all public US airports to detect others that might be suitable for incorporation into a retail distribution air network.

美国亚马逊航空网络分析

摘要:利用亚马逊航空12个月的运营数据，将亚马逊航空的网络与联邦快递和UPS航空的国内网络进行对比。与其他两家航空公司相比，亚马逊航空的网络密度较低，其地理位置与亚马逊的配送中心联系更紧密。与UPS和联邦快递一样，亚马逊将其主要中心设在美国中部的一个地方:先是俄亥俄州的威尔明顿，最近是辛辛那提。自2019冠状病毒病大流行爆发以来，在线零售贸易的加速可能会鼓励其他数字原生或现有零售公司发展自己的空运分销网络。确定区分亚马逊航空门户机场的标准，然后将这些标准应用于所有美国公共机场，以发现其他可能适合纳入零售分销航空网络的机场。
