Studying the characteristics of airport traffic flow fluctuation range is fundamental for efficient traffic management and control. Mastering these characteristics plays a crucial role in maintaining the stability and effectiveness of overall airport operations. Considering the irreversibility of time and the cumulative impact of traffic congestion, which occurs when airport traffic exceeds facility capacity within certain time intervals, a method for constructing an adaptive crossing network was proposed. From the perspective of complex network topology, both the overall characteristics of the network and the centrality of nodes were analyzed. The integrated centrality of nodes was calculated using the independent weighting coefficient method, enabling the identification of key time nodes that are core hubs of strong fluctuations within the network. The results show that the adaptive crossing network, mapped based on the traffic data from Beijing Daxing International Airport, exhibits characteristics of complexity and order, featuring scale-free properties, assortativity, and a distinct community structure. The time period from 21:20 to 22:25 (nodes 257 ~ 269) ranks highly across various centrality measures, indicating a significant fluctuation impact range, and thus, these nodes are identified as core hub nodes within the network. The integrated centrality synthesizes various topological centrality features of the network, and through quantitative analysis, effectively characterizes the strong fluctuation nodes within the network. This method provides a theoretical basis and practical reference for the optimization of airport traffic flow management and the study of abnormal fluctuations, offering a new perspective for enhancing airport operational efficiency and safety.
