WORLD Routes is bringing decision-makers from airlines, airports, and tourism authorities in Milan from October 10 to 12 to rebuild global air connectivity, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
Since forming 26 years ago, World Routes has made an impact on the world's route networks with over 3,500 new air services being connected to meetings at the event in the last three years.
Over 125 airlines will be present in Milan to develop recovery strategies including Air Canada, Air China, Air France, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, EasyJet, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Iberia Airlines, International Airlines Group, Jet2.com, JetBlue, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Southwest Airlines and Wizz Air.
'Our role has, and will always be, to bring together the world's airlines, airports, tourism authorities, and route development stakeholders to build air services for the economic and social good of every destination,' said World Routes director Steven Small.
'By delivering a platform where these stakeholders can meet, World Routes will define the recovery of an industry profoundly impacted by Covid-19. The route development industry is about building relationships that create effective partnerships and successful networks. And, it is those partnerships that this event will support,' said Mr Small.
'The innovation, resilience, and cooperation demonstrated by the route development community throughout this unprecedented period will continue to be paramount in its road to recovery. By working together, we can accelerate the recovery and build back better.' said Mr Small.
Said Milan Airports CEO Armando Brunini: 'World Routes is an important appointment for our industry, we can't wait to meet in person once again with delegates from all over the world to share views on the future of aviation and, of course, do business. In the next years, airlines need to select a network where there is a critical mass of passengers, which is important.'
'And Milan offers this critical mass. Our goal is recovery of connectivity and traffic volumes. We need to work hard with all stakeholders involved to create the right preconditions for a proper restart especially of long-haul traffic with our priorities being America and Asia and first results already arriving,' said Mr Brunini.
