European Airports Core; better structure;
Based on the data from the paper A. Cardillo, J. Gómez-Gardeñes, M. Zanin, M. Romance, D. Papo, F. del Pozo, S. Boccaletti: Emergence of Network Features from Multiplexity, Scientific Reports 3, 1344 (2013).
Each airport is linked with the others from the core with at least 13 different companies.
A cube in the core 3D visualization represents a link/triple (ap1
, ap2
, co
) - the airport ap1
is linked to the airport ap2
with a line provided by the company co
. Lines provided by the same company are of the same color.
Click a link (cube) for its identification (airport1, airport2, company)!
