About CXR

Please understand that the decision of the Government of Vietnam that permit the airlines to use CXR as a hub doesn't make it a hub automatically.

An airline hub definition is:

Airline hubs or hub airports are used by one or more airliners to concentrate passenger traffic and flight operations at a given airport. They serve as transfer (or stop-over) points to get passengers to their final destination.^[a]

Neither airline (VN, BL, VJ) use CXR as 'transfer (or stop-over) points to get passengers to their final destination'.

Specifically, BL and VJ are operating under point-to-point model, which doesn't have any hub. BL and VJ doesn't follow that model strictly, as they use SGN and HAN as a transit point for a limited number of connections. However, if you miss the connect flight, even in case of your first leg is late, it's your fault and you won't be compensated (by another flight, money).

Only VN use HAN, SGN as main transit points (connect domestic route with international route, and international transit) and DAD as secondary transit point (connect domestic route with Japan and Korea).

Please keep in mind that, even VN, BL and VJ operate flight to China out of CXR, they doesn't offer connection to another airport via CXR.

Regarding the aircraft maintenance service, CXR doesn't have facility for the time being.

Hence, from my point of view (base on operating model, backed by linked article) or your point of view (base on maintenance facility), CXR isn't qualified to be a hub for any airline.

I will revert the edit to my change after 24 hours.
