hub-and-spoke. adj. A system many airlines have adopted to maximize the amount of time their planes spend in the air, thus making money for them. They designate certain cities as hubs, schedule many flights to them, and offer connecting flights from the hubs to smaller cities, which can be served by smaller aircraft.
