Abstract In view of China’s cargo airlines network, taking the airport of each city as the node and the number of flights between cities as the weight of the side, the network topology index and economic index are used to evaluate the current situation of the network and the development potential of the network. Then, the TOPSIS method is used to comprehensively evaluate China’s cargo airlines network. The results show that the network ranking of each airline is: China Cargo Airlines, SF Airlines, China Post Airlines, Jinpeng Airlines, Longhao Airlines, Yuantong Airlines. Finally, considering the development stage of China’s cargo airlines, the sensitivity analysis is conducted by resetting the weight to verify the effectiveness of TOPSIS method. At the same time, according to the different stages of the network of cargo airlines, some suggestions on the development of the network are given.
