English term or phrase: hub and spoke
Definition from Smartertravel:
A hub and spoke system is one in which an airline designates one or several cities as hubs from which most or all of its flights originate/terminate. Passengers flying from one non-hub city to another usually have to connect through a hub, while passengers living in a hub city have a wealth of nonstop destinations to choose from.

Example sentence(s):
  • The bad news for travellers is that the hub and spoke system tends to eliminate a lot of non-stop flights. everything2.com
  • For years the only formula for profits was the hub and spoke system. By pulling in passengers from smaller cities, like Jacksonville, Florida, and Charleston, South Carolina, to one big hub, like Atlanta, an airline could capture traffic for the lucrative long-distance flights across oceans and continents. Cable News Network
  • Many airlines supplement their hub and spoke model with codeshares, partner flights, or a small commuter airline. wiseGEEK
