Résumé anglais Domestic air transport was deregulated in several stages between 1987 and 1997. This significant evolution gave place in France to transformations of networks awaited (generalization of the structures in «hub and spoke», partnerships between national and regional companies), but also to the emergence of an offensive and original competition on the transverse connections (between French regions themselves or between French regions and foreign destinations), offering a real alternative to the parisian airports. The promotion of provincial airports like Clermont-Ferrand, Montpellier, etc. as hubs creates true opportunity effects for cities which were up to that point only connected to the capital. But the experiment of Saint-Etienne (the first closing of a hub in 1999) shows that nothing on the matter is irreversible. The phenomenon was recovered by the two largest competitors (the Air France and SAir groups), which lets forecast new reorganizations in the short and medium term, which will not result inevitably by closings but rather in a hiérarchisation and a specialization of small hubs.
