While Icelandair operates with a hub system, there are some air carriers that do not adopt this model. Reasons for not operating with a hub system can vary depending on the airline's business strategy and network structure. Some airlines may choose to operate with a point-to-point model, where flights are scheduled directly between origin and destination without the need for a central hub. This approach allows for more flexibility in route planning and may be more suitable for airlines with a smaller network or specific market focus.
