My idea is to force airlines to open a hub if they want to control more than ten gates. I've seen a couple of airlines in my world who use over twenty gates at an airport and do not declare it a hub. It's basically like if Delta didn't call its ATL operations a hub. It's ridiculous. And honestly, what airline controls that many gates without any connecting pax? It's not realistic. Maybe it would slow the growth of mega airlines a bit, too. Also, it would be handy for people starting halfway through a round. They could see how many airlines actually have large operations at an airport.

No, it would (hopefully) stop them expanding so fast by making them pay the hub opening fee of one million or so.Hubs actually provide a bonus though; if the mega airline is undercut, it will keep the route alive on connecting passengers. Not having it be a hub is a benefit.
Then you have airlines like SWA with huge operations in an area, but not officially a hub.

The hub opening fee isn't really that much of a stopper.
