Default Airline hubs
Can someone post where the hubs of these airlines are? If there's more than one, can you list the major ones?

1) all American airlines
eg. Delta, Southwest, Jetblue etc

2) all Chinese airlines
eg. China Southwest, China Eastern, Air China etc

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Chinese airlines and their hubs:

-Air China: Beijing
-China Eastern: Shanghai
-China Northern: Shenyang
-China Northwest: Xi'an; Lanzhou; Zhuhai; Nanjing
-China Southern: Guangzhou
-China Southwest: Chengdu
-China Xinhua: Beijing; Tianjin
-China Xinjiang: Xinjiang
-China Yunnan: Kunming
-China National Aviation Corp. CNAC: Macau
-Hainan Airlines: Haikou; Sanya; Ningbo City
-Xiamen Airlines: Xiamen
-Shenzhen Airlines: Shenzhen
-Shandong Airlines: Ji'nan
-Shanghai Airlines: Shanghai

I think that's about it. There might be a few more minor ones.
AFAIK they are merging several airlines together and 3 big groups will be left: Air China, China Southern and China Eastern.

SJU's days as an AA hub are in question- more likely it will be an American Eagle hub for the Caribbean, with mainline jets to the U.S. only.

Not to be pill, but how about using some real ICAO (and ATC) identifiers, willya Mr. OAG???

FL??: I assume that to be Air Tran (TRS), callsign Citrus, or if you're not a fan..... Shitrus. FL used to be, back in the real good old days, the identifier for the original Frontier.

TZ??: I assume that one to be American Trans Air (ATA).... TZ used to be, again, back in the real good old days..... Trans America.

HP??: That would be America West (AWE) callsign Cactus.

F9??: I guess that would be Frontier??? (FFT)

B6??: That would be jetBlue (JBU), I assume?

YX??: This must be Midwest Express (MEP), callsign MidEx...

I guess that takes care of some of those OAG hieroglyphics!

p.s. AA = AAL, CO = COA, DL = DAL, NW = NWA, US = USA

Hey Tracon...

Thanks for clarifying that for those that might not speak OAG!
And for those that do understand my OAG codes at the expense of not understanding ICAO/ATC, glad to be available to decode MEP, FFT, AWE, etc.

i always thought SJC was an AA hub (maybe a mini hub?)...its all AA and WN, with a little bit of United, Delta, America West, Continental, Mexicana and various cargo operators thrown in for good measure.

Not be be nitpicky, but technically Southwest does not operate a hub-and-spoke system. Cities like BWI, Las Vegas, Phoenix, etc. are cities where the airline has a large presence, but the airline does not bring passengers to a hub city with the intent of transferring them onto another flight.

SJC was a hub for American, at one time, for the Far East. American shut it down as a hub about 7 years ago, as I recall. It went the way of Raleigh/Durham. Another failed hub.
