Values close to 1 may indicate many transfers, whereas values <1 indicate many outgoing flights and values >1 indicate many incoming flights.
Note that this is a simple calculation that does not consider timing or scheduling of flights, just the overall aggregate number within the dataset:
# Calculate the inDeg (flights into the airport) and # outDeg (flights ...
