Abstract

Google created PageRank to determine which pages are important. The mathematics of PageRank, however, are general and apply to any network. In this paper, we use Google’s PageRank method to evaluate the importance of Chinese airports via the airlines’ link structure. The idea in this paper is that, a delay occurring in an airport will have impacts on other airports. The airports, whose delays have the bigger impacts on other airports, are considered to be more important airports in our model.

Keywords
