Press Release: CONNECT announces TANGIER as 2021 Host City

“CONNECT New World was, in my opinion, a fantastic, necessary and useful initiative.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“Perfect, relaxed, and still profitable, business wise…you have to come!!”

“CONNECT offers the opportunity to network and catch-up with airports from Europe and beyond, in a very relaxed setting. In 2020, the event helped us launch 5 new routes to Italy and France. In 2022 we will be in Tampere to join new conversations and new projects for our network.”

“Thank you for the event organisation. As always excellent organisation, quality meetings, transfers worked well, and the food was great during the event (which makes a massive difference). Thank you, we look forward to next year’s event!”

“An excellent 3 days full of meetings and great networking events. A very good opportunity to meet airports we would not have thought about creating brainstorming opportunities.”

“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.”

“I managed to have over 20 scheduled meetings with current and potential airline partners”

“The experience was excellent before and during the event; thank you very much for your effort. Keep going!”

“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.”

“Your availability, your interest in your clients, your friendliness and your flexibility amount to the best possible loyalty program anyone could provide.”

“My first time attending Connect and for sure not the last one! Very good number of airlines attending and overall great networking experience.”

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

“A fantastically organised event down to the tiniest details. It was my first time at CONNECT and I was thoroughly impressed. I could not have imagined a better way to resume networking in person!”

“During the event we had a lot of scheduled and unscheduled meetings, giving us many opportunities to meet with airport delegates. Thank you for the help and support!”

“Perfect organization, both for meetings and for leisure time. CONNECT does compare better than other events in the aviation industry, with longer meeting slots, less stressed timing, which helps people talking and doing business.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“There is great attention to detail and the CONNECT team are like an army of ants with their eyes on everything!”

“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.”

“One of the best airline industry events, combining efficiency and organization with French style and flair!”

“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.”

“Professional and well-organized event. Fantastic atmosphere during official part and social part also.”

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

“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.”

“Attending CONNECT is always a very good opportunity to meet wonderful people and work on great projects. Always pleased to be a very small piece of the big puzzle of aviation.”
