Strengths and Weaknesses of Qantas's Flight Network

Abstract

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the flight network of the famous Australian airline Qantas, aiming to reveal its strengths and weaknesses. Firstly, the performance of Qantas as Australia's largest airline in both domestic and international markets, as well as its relationship with its competitor Virgin Australia, were introduced. Secondly, the flight network of Qantas was visually analyzed using Tableau and Gephi software, aiming to gain a more intuitive understanding of its network structure and characteristics. By analyzing the nodes, edges, and attributes of the network, it was found that Qantas's flight network has advantages such as high concentration, wide coverage, and strong connectivity. However, there are also some shortcomings, such as overly concentrated routes and insufficient coverage in some areas. Finally, based on the analysis results, some targeted suggestions were proposed to develop more competitive strategies.
