what is an airport hub?

277 views

I am not a big traveler but I always hear people say “hub” & from what I’m gathering it’s like a home base for certain airlines? Why do people like/not like them?

For example delta has a hub in atl but everyone complains about flying delta out of atl because “it’s a hub”…

ATL for example is a huge connection point, as Delta routes many of their regional jet routes in the Southeast US to/from Atlanta, and it’s also used for connecting flights to Florida and many international routes (Latin America and south America in particular).

As such, the passenger volume at ATL is huge, and likewise security lines and parking/transportation can be less convenient than smaller airports.
