Abstract: The competition and cooperation relationship between high-speed railway and civil aviation makes it inevitable to
design and optimize Chinese aviation passenger transport network based on the comparative advantages of both
sides. In this paper, 88 cities with both high-speed railway stations and airports from 2008 to 2018 are taken as the
research objects. Based on the analysis of the changes in the layout of high-speed railway construction, the impacts
of high-speed railway on the resistance effect of civil aviation passenger transport, the growth rate of airport pas鄄
senger throughput and the aviation hierarchical structure of airport cities are discussed respectively. The results
show that the layout of Chinese high-speed railway construction is expanding from the east and central to the west
and northeast, and the resistance effect of high-speed railway on civil aviation passenger transport is more obvious
when the distance between cities is below 1 200 km. In addition, in the second year after the opening of high-speed
railway lines, it has a negative inhibition effect on the growth rate of passenger throughput of 42 airports and avia鄄
tion hierarchical structure of 21 airport cities, and has a positive promotion effect on the growth rate of passenger
throughput of 19 airports and aviation hierarchical structure of 47 airport cities. Therefore, the aviation passenger
transport market in China should take into account of the differences of competition and cooperation effects of
high-speed railway, as well as designing and optimizing route network pertinently to leverage the advantages of
aviation passenger transport network
