Chinese term or phrase: 城市对式航线结构
对航线的分析中可以看出,现阶段中国仍以城市对式航线结构为主,大部分城市对客流量较少,这就使航空公司倾向于采用...未来中国国内航线网络将逐步向城市对式与辐射式相结合的二元化结构发展,而辐射式航线网结构的建设必然需要一定数量的

A point to point flight is a direct flight where the passenger buys a ticket from A to B with an airline. The passenger may choose to purchase a second point to point ticket with an airline (either the same airline, or an alternative carrier) to get to an onward destination, but will not be covered for any delays incurred by the first flight that may cause the passenger to miss the second flight. Bmibaby, Air Wales, Ryanair, and Zoom are all examples of point to point airlines.

I believe a "point-to-point flight" is better than a "point-to-point airline".

HSS: a system of air transportation in which local airports offer air transportation to a central airport where long-distance flights are available

The point-to-point system and the HSS system are two different types of flight arrangements.

airline hub network


Explanation:
The is one half of the "hub and spoke" structures, 辐射式 being the "spoke" structure. I.e., "hub-and-spoke airline network" is the general terminology. For most contexts, I would say no need to translate the word "structure."

Example sentence(s):
  • Location for China's hub airports and design for hub and-spoke airline network
