    Xiamen has a base in Cebu??? Xiamen is from Fujian Province China

    Please be more accurate in reporting, or proof-read the grammar used

    In airline parlance, a hub is where an airliner operates three or more direct flights from an airport. It doesn't mean that the airline has to have a base on that airport. A hub airport on the other hand is merely a "big airport with a lot of direct flights". Operating three direct destinations out of Cebu makes it a hub for Xiamen. Northwest Airlines also operated three direct flights to Nagoya, Osaka and Narita before from Manila and its an airline of the United States. And its not a base for NWA either. Educate us further.
