Press Release: Early airline registrations are showing heightened interest in the next year’s CONNECT Route Development Forum, taking place in Cagliari, Sardinia in Italy from 5th – 7th June 2019

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“Keep the good quality, relaxing atmosphere, good food and amazing networking events.”

“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 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 skydive was an amazing experience. Beautiful to see the island from above! The conference was very professional but had a relaxed vibe, which I believe was due to the fact that it was held in Sardinia.”

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

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

“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!”

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

“What an amazing event! We loved the venue, the city and all the opportunities that came with CONNECT! Thank you!”

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

“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.”

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

“Second time at CONNECT and it just gets better, thank you for a great conference!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“Excellent event looking forward to 2024.”

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

“Our onsite meetings were trebled with help from the CONNECT team, and we are more than satisfied with these discussions, that are the beginning of long conversations opened up for the future.”

“Very nicely arranged with proper spreading of breaks and meetings.”

“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!”
