The 18th World Route Development Forum

One to One Meetings

ONE TO ONE MEETINGS

Scheduling for World Routes 2012 in Abu Dhabi is set to commence on 6th June 2012 and will run till 14th September 2012 and this year we will be unveiling new and enhanced measures to offer more meeting choices for delegates, whether through the traditional one-to-one 20 minute meetings in the halls or at strategic meetings on stands. 

World Routes will offer meeting platforms that cater for all route development requirements. The event has evolved to include a major exhibition within the Networking Village as well as a growing conference programme. 

Pre-scheduled One to One Meetings – these form the core of World Routes and offer you the chance to meet all your targeted airlines face to face. When selecting your meetings please make sure you let us know why you want to meet the airlines of your choice as this will help us to confirm this meeting with them!

Extended Meetings on Exhibition Stands – these meetings allow airports and their stakeholders to have extended, pre-scheduled, face to face meetings in the privacy of their exhibition stand allowing airlines to experience first-hand their airport and destination. Stand holders will be given the option to also hold their standard 20 minute meetings on their Exhibition Stand, these meetings will now also take place not just on the traditional Monday and Tuesday but will also on the Sunday of the event.

City Pair Meetings – In addition to the pre-scheduled meetings included in every airport’s attendance package, airports attending World Routes 2012 can now request up to 5 meetings with other airports at no additional cost. ‘City Pair’ Meetings will allow the two airports to identify new opportunities, share ideas and approaches, exchange data and contacts and jointly plan ‘City Pair’ strategies and presentations. Above all, ‘City Pair’ Meetings may be “win-win” for both airlines and airports. For airlines, it can give them a complete picture without the need to reconcile data and have multiple meetings. For airports, it can lead to joint support packages, potentially saving valuable time and money. These meetings available at World Routes are free and unlimited for all airport delegates.

When scheduling opens you will find clear instructions on how to submit your meetings via the  home page. 

Please remember to request your meetings in priority order including reserve options.
