From: Balancing capacity and epidemic spread in the global airline network
The reduction in effective transmission rate as the capacity of the airline network reduces under random and targeted node removal. a Compares random removal with all unweighted regimes, b compares random removal with the weighted regimes, and c compares all regimes with capacity on log scale. Targeted node removal regimes retain a higher network capacity for a given transmission rate when compared with random node removal. Above a network capacity of \({3.0\!\times \!10^9\text { pkm}}\) the behavior of all targeted regimes behave similarly. Below \({3.0\!\times \!10^9\text { pkm}}\) the behaviors diverge with the unweighted regimes exhibiting a lower transmission rate for a given network capacity
