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

Figure 9

LCC of the East and Southeast Asia-Oceania components after isolation from the network. The blue dots are 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 attack covers the countries in Oceania. The LCC separated by the weighted PageRank attack covers East and Southeast Asia major countries. In contrast, the LCC isolated by the weighted betweenness attack covers all the regions of the initial component.
