Abstract The globalization process promotes the formation of a city network in which each city connects with and evolves upon interactive flows. International airlines and flights undertake cross-boundary flows of both social elite as the carriers of capital and innovation and goods with high added value. On this basis, international airlines and flights are key aspects in revealing the interactions among high-level cities and thereby becoming a subject of intense research on city networks. Applying social network and ArcGIS analysis based on a collection of data on international passenger and cargo airlines and flights within the South China Sea region in 2000, 2010, and 2018, this study examines the network structure and spatial pattern evolutions of both international air passenger and cargo networks in this transnational region. Taking air passenger and cargo networks together, Hong Kong (HKG) and Singapore (SIN) have been the two transnational airport hubs all through the 2000-2018 period, while Shanghai (PVG), Shenzhen (SZX), Taipei (TPE), and Bangkok (BKK) have emerged as the new transnational passenger and cargo airport hubs recently. Meanwhile, Singapore (SIN) has strengthened its role in the passenger network along with Kuala Lumpur (KUL), Guangzhou (CAN) and Macau (MFM), whereas Hong Kong (HKG) has played an increasingly important role in the cargo network with Chongqing (CGK), Ho Chi Minh (SGN) and Hanoi (HAN).
