Exploring The Mesoscopic Structure Of The World Air Transportation Network

International audience; Air transportation networks have been extensively studied in the network science literature. Researchers focus on airlines networks, national, regional, continental and worldwide networks using monoplex or multiplex approaches. Inspired by recent results on community-aware centrality measures [1], in this work, an extensive analysis of the macroscopic, mesoscopic and microscopic topological properties of the world air transportation network is performed. Based on the community structure uncovered by the Louvain algorithm, the original network is split into local components and global components. The local components are made of the communities by removing the interco…
