Why Attend?

“A very nice event in Tampere, extremely well-co-ordinated and very productive I have to say. Of course, we are planning to attend next event in Tangier.”

“We had more than 35 formal meetings held with Airports, Airlines and have turned Business Cases discussed at last year’s CONNECT into reality, launching routes such as BUD, ROM and ZIA.”

“The event proved to be a valuable opportunity for us to consolidate meetings with our existing airline partners and connect with a few key service providers we collaborate with. Additionally, engaging in conversations with various airports brought about interesting insights. While my primary expectation was centered around networking, I found the event to be a valuable platform for fostering meaningful professional relationships.”

“Excellent event looking forward to 2024.”

“Fantastic event, as ever! CONNECT helps our industry to build networks and air routes which are more important than ever to help our mixed-up world. Bravo to the whole team and see you next year!”

“Perfect hospitality. The number of confirmed meetings exceeded our expectations.”

“It was the best route networking event I've ever attended. Apart from the success of the meetings we had, the accommodation, the food, the entertainment was magnificent.”

“Connect is a conference where you can meet all your current and potential airline partners in a very relaxed way!”

“Great organization, perfect conditions, delicious food, very friendly and cosy atmosphere and professional communication. Meetings at CONNECT are always very productive! We hope next year will be at least as excellent as it was in 2022!”

“The CONNECT format, with a limited number of participants, created the perfect environment for networking. And the location itself was exceptional. I can’t recall any other event where I felt so inspired to kickstart new routes, but Santa Domingo did just that.”

“CONNECT is a great format to network with industry professionals and decision-makers. Through our connections at the event, Flyadeal launched 3 routes to Tbilisi International Airport, with 9 frequencies per week.”

“I had 2 contracts confirmed after the first day and am now in serious talks with potential customers regarding other contracts. A successful event for me!”

“I am happy and proud to have been part of the inaugural event! I am confident that future New World events will help further explore the untapped potential of this underserved region and open up newer opportunities to connect aviation, tourism and economies.”

“We performed 60 meetings in three days with the airports we were looking for, it would have took us months to achieve that without CONNECT. We got an excellent return on investment and we ended up having concrete request for commercial proposals. Real value for money!”

“Great event in Cagliari – seriously impressed with event logistics – we will certainly return to Cagliari!”

“CONNECT is a well organised event with a friendly yet professional atmosphere. It is an important part of Newcastle International Airport’s calendar of engagement with current and prospective airline partners.”

“Tangier was a good choice for this year Connect. Event well organised with chance for number of meetings in a nice atmosphere. Everything was not "overwhelming". Good organisation of meetings in Business Lounge.”

“Definitely a "must attend" aviation conference during our calendar year.”

“I was highly impressed by the level of organization at the event. It ran smoothly and provided a unique opportunity to connect with representatives from smaller Caribbean airports, a rarity at other conferences.”

“This was the first time I came to CONNECT in a few years and was impressed to see how much it has developed whilst retaining its small event feel with a quality meeting structure and networking.”

“CONNECT enabled us to meet with a good number of our airline partners. We were also able to take the temperature of the industry in terms of how other airports and industry leaders see things.”

“The event was as always perfectly organized. CONNECT has managed to grow significantly over the last years without losing its friendliness and professionalism.”

“The venue was great, the meetings were long enough, the location and events were superb, the general ambiance was really pleasurable.”

“I had better outcomes than expected in the meetings I had and the networking events were very good.”

“As always, it was a great pleasure seeing you in Tampere after very long time. We enjoyed both Tampere and Finland, so thanks for bringing us to places we probably would not visit by ourselves. Thanks for an amazing event (as usual) and hospitality, we look forward to seeing you next year in Morocco!”

“Great event to meet and greet friends and colleagues from the industry in the Latin American and Caribbean region.”

“CONNECT provides enough time for airlines and airports to meet and discuss, as well as build new and nurture existing relationships in the networking sessions.”

“The meetings were incredibly productive, exceeding my expectations. There was a perfect balance of topics, covering both the challenging and unconventional aspects of the aviation industry. Moreover, the event provided an invaluable opportunity to exchange knowledge and insights with industry peers.”

“What a fantastic CONNECT conference in Cagliari, over 40 meetings in 3 days which is a new record for RDC. A great opportunity to catch up with clients and introduce other companies to our products.”

“Good meetings and good networking with relevant people for our business. Hopefully, we can come again to CONNECT.”
