Abstract: In order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the aeronautical network under the influence of bad weather, military activities or the failure of the air traffic control equipment, an aeronautical interdependent network was built for North China taken as an example. The network was formed by interconnecting an airport network, an air route network and an air control network. Based on the failure and congestion rules under the operation of air traffic management, the robustness measure and congestion measure were calculated, and the robustness and congestion of the network in different failure and congestion modes were analyzed. The results show that the robustness of the static aeronautical network is better than that of the dynamic, that the control network has the greatest influence on the robustness of the network, that the edge has a great influence on the robustness of the network, and that the route network has the greatest impact on the network congestion.

Key words: interdependent network, robustness, congestion, failure rule, largest connected subgraph
