CONNECT Route Development Forum is now in its 19th year. Each annual CONNECT event brings together over 650 aviation decision makers including more than 75 airlines & tour operators and 280 represented airports to discuss current and future air transport links.
Unlimited one-to-one meetings arranged pre-event and on-site using our delegate meeting system. Enjoy endless informal meeting opportunities during coffee breaks, lunch times and happy hours.
Route development and industry briefings provide crucial industry analysis and updates, and airlines are also invited to give exclusive briefings to give full insight into company policy and show how to adapt to current demand.
