Hosting CONNECT

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

“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!”

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

“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.”

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

“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.”

“Once again there has been a great hospitality and cordial atmosphere, with a meticulous attention to detail in arranging every possible thing for the participants. Everyone who matters in the European market was here.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

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

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

“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.”

“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.”

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

“Excellent event looking forward to 2024.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“I had more meetings than expected. Very professional and highly effective in a cordial and relaxed environment. A great event!”

“Phenomenal opportunity to connect with industry leaders and suppliers.”

“First time in CONNECT for Madagascar’s team and thank you so much, everything was perfect!”

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

“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!”

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

“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!”

“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.”
