ABSTRACT

With the economic globalization and integrated development, the air logistics industry has been upgraded, and the phenomenon of coupling and coordinated development of airports and regional economies have become more and more obvious. The business volume of the air logistics industry, which mainly focuses on air cargo, has surged and the development prospects are good. However, at present, a good freight development channel has not yet been established in China to support the rapid development of air logistics. The development of air logistics needs to implement the cargo priority strategy through the cargo hub airport, realize the priority of air cargo, and gather the air carrier flow to create an air logistics ecosystem. Based on China's air logistics development market, This study builds a location model for China's air cargo hub airport, and uses the TOPSIS model evaluation method to conclude that it is more suitable to establish a national air logistics hub airport in Wuhan City Circle, Hubei Province.
