description In order to improve the reliability of aviation airline network, this paper presents an empirical analysis on the airline network structure of an aviation company in China from the perspective of complex network, and the calculation result of the statistical features and degree distribution of the network, proves that the network is a small-world network and a scale-free network. Four indicators, i.e. degree, closeness, vertex betweenness and flow betweenness, are utilized for aviation network centralization so as to distinguish the most appropriate method. The influence of nodes in local network is to be measured through the indicators. The results show that vertex betweenness can achieve the best aviation network centralization effect. Specifically, the centrality degree reaches 95.87%. On this basis, the network reliability is analyzed to discover that when two nodes with maximum degree or maximum betweenness are removed, the network performance is reduced by a half. Eventually, countermeasures are proposed for further improvement according to the results. In other words, complex network method is feasible used to analyze the topological structure and statistical features of aviation network. Based on this, a study is conduced to the network reliability and suggestions are proposed for optimizing the aviation network.
