By comparing the degree of each node in the model network and the World Airline Network (WAN), we observe that the difference between the two is minimized for alpha approximate to 2. Interestingly, this is the value obtained for the node-node correlation function in the WAN. This suggests that our model explains quite well the growth of airline networks.
