The location of hubs in an area where airports are evenly spread is considered. Two models are presented and analyzed. The first assumes that customers fly to the closest hub, then to the hub closest to their destination, and then to their destination. The second model assumes that customers select one hub, fly to that hub and then fly to their destination. The hub is selected such that the total distance to the destination via that hub is minimized.
