Hub

[edit]

"In 1990 Scandinavian changed their operation prosedures in Finnmark, making Alta a hub with flights from other towns into Alta and flights to Oslo by jet aircraft."

I thought the SAS only had three hubs, Arlanda, Gardermoen and Kastrup. Wouldn't Alta be a "focus city"? Or is that strictly an American term? —Preceding unsigned comment added by KristofferOlsen (talkcontribs) 08:15, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your position here, but the reason for the formulation is twofold. First, the term airline hub proper refers to any airport in which an airline transfers passengers systematically, no matter the size. So the reference to hub here is to the hub part of a hub-and-spike system. Though I agree that SAS has three main hubs, regional aviation in decentralized places like Norway have a structure that differs significantly from the mainstream airline structure, particularly in the United States. So a terminology equivalent to the mainstream use, that is primarily targeting large Continental Europe and North American may not seem appropriate in Arctic regions. Also, it should be noted that this hub is technically for SAS Commuter and not SAS, and that Alta definitively was a hub for SAS Commuter until it was swallowed by Widerøe.

Sorry to take so long. Everything looks good. I just have a question and a few prose niggles.

  • "Alta Airport is owned and operated by the state-owned Avinor, and served 335,621 passengers in 2011, making it the busiest airport in Finnmark." - this is in the lede but doesn't seem to be supported in the article.
  • "Bukta had 2,000 annual passengers in 1957,[10] and the route was flown daily during the summer from 1960." - beginning in 1960?
    • Rephrased to emphasize that it was a summer-only route.
  • "Movements at Alta gradually decreased," - traffic at Alta gradually decreased?
  • "with people from Nordkapp to a much greater extent would drive to Alta for their long-haul flights" - seems clumsy - can it be reworded? e.g. More people from Nordkapp drove to Alta for their long-haul fights.
  • "Another concern was the lack of capacity, as the airport could only had 150 simultaneous passengers and two gates." - could only handle 150 passengers simultaneously at two gates?
  • "One problem with these car connections is that they pass the Sennalandet mountain which sometimes is closed due to snow storm." - that they travel through a pass in the Sennalandet mountain, which is sometimes closed by snow storms?
  • " 50-passenger -300 series to Tromsø and the 39-passenger -100 series on services to regional airport." - do you describe somewhere what these are? Also, can you make sure that "39-passenger -100 series" doesn't get separated by line breaks as it does on my machine?

I've made a few edits that you're free to change.[1] MathewTownsend (talk) 18:19, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
