Major airlines build their routes around a "hub and spoke system". Using this scheme, smaller commuter planes fly passengers from smaller towns to hub cities where they board larger planes for longer flights to distant cities.

The goal is to fly the most economical aircraft on any given route routes to maximize profits. This has led to the popularity of the commuter airlines.
