World Routes, the annual gathering of global air service decision makers, attracts senior stakeholders, positioning it as the must attend event for those interested in meeting with the industry's key players. 

In 2018, World Routes is expected to attract over 3,000 delegates representing over 250 airlines, 700 airports and 130 tourism authorities along with a number of other industry stakeholders from across the globe to discuss air service development. The event consists of four main elements:

Meetings

Airlines, airports and tourism authorities from across the world have the opportunity to meet and discuss both new market opportunities and existing services at pre-scheduled face-to-face meetings. These meetings are arranged online prior to the event based on delegate requests, and a personal diary is issued on arrival available as a paper copy or via the World Routes event app.

Networking Opportunities 

Routes events encourage all delegates to network as much as possible and this is facilitated in a number of ways:

• Formal face-to-face meetings either pre-scheduled or arranged via the On-site Meeting System that allows all delegates to request meetings with other delegates during the event itself

• A number of hospitality events including the Saturday Reception, Welcome Reception and Networking Evening along with lunches and refreshment breaks during the working days of the event. This social programme allows business networking in a more informal environment
