This study analyzed the network of low cost carriers (LCCs) to investigate the structural characteristics of airport networks. 71 LCCs in Asian major airports from January 2010 to January 2016 were queried from the SRS Analyzer Schedule Database of IATA's Airport Intelligence Service, and analyzed international routes excluding domestic flights. We analyzed the network connection mechanism focusing on Incheon International Airport, Hong Kong, Singapore, Narita, Kansai, Pudong, Kaohsiung, Gimpo and Jeju airports as well as structural changes in the LCC network using four centrality analysis concepts. The outcomes showed that the LCC network is formed in these airports and the density of connectivity to other airports increased. In recent years, LCC has launched LCCs-Alliances and would be considered to operate a hub-and-spoke network.
