Robustness Analysis of the Regional and Interregional Components of the Weighted World Air Transportation Network

Figure 11

LCC of the South America component after isolation from the network. The brown dots represent the remaining airports after attacks on the world air transportation network (a) strength attack, (b) weighted betweenness attack, and (c) weighted PageRank attack. The LCC isolated by the strength and weighted PageRank attacks includes Brazil and Venezuela. The LCC separated by the weighted betweenness attack covers all the initial component regions.
