Abstract

Aviation network plays a crucial role in the economic development.However, over these years, the epidemic of COVID-19 seriously influenced the aviation network, including airport shutdowns and a large number of flight cancellations, which causes serious economic losses. Our team examined the topology traits of China’s aviation network in our research. The details of the aviation network, including airports as nodes and air routes as edges, are visualised in the study. Essential factors of the network are examined, including degree distribution, clustering coefficient, centrality, etc. Gephi is utilized to visualise the communities of the aviation network. The study analyses these factors and provides a case analysis of how the aviation network will behave if one important node is removed. In the study, it is also discussed the centrality, how the communities change and whether the network collapses to gain a clear understanding of the airports as nodes in the network.
