World Routes

Description World Routes is the global meeting place for every airline, airport and aviation stakeholder. The event presents an unrivalled platform for route development professionals to discuss, develop and plan network strategy. Providing unique cost and time saving benefits, World Routes is a must attend event and attracts the most senior decision makers from the world’s leading aviation organisations. World Routes is unique, set-up specifically to facilitate meetings between airlines and those interested in attracting new air services by those carriers. With some 1,800 delegates each year and delegations from over 300 airlines and more than 650 airports, the event has proved highly successful in influencing and stimulating new route development worldwide. But increasingly, airlines want to meet not only the representatives of an airport operator, but also representatives of the tourism authority and economic development agency. Joint delegations send a powerful message that proposed new air services will be supported locally, that there is a coherent strategy for growth in the region and that effective communication is already taking place between the various stakeholders who stand to gain from new air services. In addition, tourism authorities and economic development agencies can support the work that their airport is undertaking at Routes by increasing the profile of their city or region through an exhibition or sponsorship. In particular, the airlines wish to be informed about new market and infrastructure developments that may encourage an increase of air services to a particular region.
