Since the advent of liberalisation of the aviation industry in the late 1970s, many countries have adopted the liberal policy in air transport and entered bilateral air service agreements, often referred to as “open skies agreements” (OSAs), whenever other countries will accept it (International Council of Airport Operators, 2013). Exploiting the connectivity of the OSA between pair nations, many airport operators have developed a hub and spoke airline network (De Barros et al., 2007), which promotes transit routes and connectivity of near or far destinations. The hub and spoke airline network promotes tourism flows and configures new tourism spaces (Redondi, Malighetti & Paleari, 2012); it generates an emergent market of transit passengers who make fair contribution to the transit destination. In addition, the breakthrough from a regulated environment to a liberalized one has provided travellers with a much greater degree of individual choice over which airport to use in terms of convenience and transit experience.
