Abstract:

Based on the characteristics of the air alliance environment saving transport mileage, the hub location problem of the air cargo network was studied. First, the air alliance selection probability model was introduced to determine the alliance self-operation or outsourcing probability in different segments. Then, according to the location center rule, with the goal of minimizing the total cost, the hub location model was built. The improved immune chaos genetic algorithm was used to solve this model. The results show that the improved algorithm has stronger convergence and better effect than the immune genetic algorithm. When the number of hubs increases, the fixed cost increases, but the transportation cost decreases. The greater the discount factor, the fixed cost, and the self operating cost sharing coefficient, the higher the total network cost. The airline which joins the air alliance can greatly reduce the operating cost of airlines. Therefore, airlines should consider joining the alliance.
