本文通过“k核分解”方法将中国航空网络封装成多层结构。该网络分为三层：核心层，包括省会城市的机场，连接密集，承担了大部分航班流量;桥梁层，包括二线和三线城市的机场，主要连接其他两个层;以及中间层，包括偏远地区的机场，承担了小部分航班流量。此外，它揭示了CAN保持最强大的低度节点或高飞行流链路被删除时，这是类似于全球航空公司网络（WAN），虽然少冗余。(C)2016爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有
This paper encapsulates the Chinese Airline Network (CAN) into multi-layer infrastructures via the "k-core decomposition" method. The network is divided into three layers: Core layer, containing airports of provincial capital cities, is densely connected and sustains most flight flow; Bridge layer, consisting of airports in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, mainly connects two other layers; and Periphery layer, comprising airports of remote areas, sustains little flight flow. Moreover, it is unveiled that CAN stays the most robust when low-degree nodes or high flight flow links are removed, which is similar to the Worldwide Airline Network (WAN), albeit less redundant.
