This study assesses the evolving competitive positions of sixteen major hub airports in the Asia-Pacific region by analyzing their transfer-connectivity performance before and after the pandemic. Using flight schedule data from the Innovata Worldwide Flight Schedules Database, three key indicators are employed: Quantity of Viable Connections (QVC), Hub Connectivity Performance Index (HCPI), and Hub Efficiency Index (HEI). Two reference weeks—September 2019 and September 2023—were selected to represent pre- and post-pandemic conditions. The results show that Northeast Asian hubs such as Seoul Incheon (ICN), Tokyo Narita (NRT), and Taipei Taoyuan (TPE) have retained dominant roles in trans-Pacific connectivity, with ICN ranking first in QVC and TPE leading in both HEI and HCPI. TPE also surpassed Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) in QVC, signaling a strategic shift in hub competitiveness. In contrast, airports in mainland China (PEK, PVG, CAN) and HKG experienced significant declines following the pandemic. As the global aviation sector recovers, airports with lower QVC are encouraged to reinstate suspended routes and explore new market pairings, while those with weaker HCPI or HEI performance should focus on reducing connection times and improving schedule coordination.

Analysis revealed that technological turbulence has the highest objective weight, followed by competitive, market, and regulatory turbulences. The most desired capabilities are flexibility and agility, followed by resilience, responsiveness, sustainability, robustness, and visibility in order to weather the storm of general environmental turbulence. More specifically, flexibility is essential for managing market turbulence. In response to competitive and regulatory volatility, managers must prioritize agility, while technological turbulence necessitates visibility. The proposed framework guides logistics managers in making strategic decisions regarding the relationship between logistics capabilities and environmental turbulence, and it qualifies as the first endeavor to examine the prominence of logistics capabilities with environmental turbulence.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46505,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Shipping and Logistics","volume":"42 1","pages":"Pages 34-53"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145929306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The core methodological innovation is the use of national input-output accounts to identify specific consumer industries, allowing for a more behaviorally-grounded analysis of destination attractiveness for different commodity groups. Using U.S. Commodity Flow Survey (CFS) data, two multinomial logit models were developed: one for destination choice and another for joint destination-mode choice, across three goods categories. This study also provides a direct empirical comparison in the freight context, with results revealing that the integrated model improves prediction accuracy by approximately 7 % compared to destination-only models.

This study therefore attempts to bridge these gaps by comparing between less developed economies; Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and developed economies (OECD). Panel dataset between 2007 and 2018 for 24 SSA countries and 34 OECD economies. The Generalized Method of Moments estimators were employed and findings showed a positive effect of logistic efficiency on transport sustainability. The findings revealed no significant variation within the economies. Even though the gravity of the effect remain higher in SSA, LP was found to worsen transport sustainability in both economies. Additionally, we noted only the timeliness of logistics service out of the six (6) sub-dimensions of LP significantly increases CO2 from transport. The findings offers a compelling insight which contradicts conventional wisdom that situations in advanced economies are always highly better. Practically, the findings implies that, regardless of the level of development in the economy, supply chain or logistics activities continue to be far from de-carbonization in both economies.
