Route Exchange Airline Briefings are exclusively available to airport and tourism authority delegates. Scheduled over two meeting slots, Route Exchange Airline Briefings provide delegates with the opportunity to gain an insight into their target & current airline partners' business.

Held in private theatres on the show floor, Route Exchange Airline Briefings are the only place to further develop your understanding of the route planning function of airlines, hear a valuable update on the opportunities the airline feels are out there and gain an understanding of how decision makers at airlines see the market place. A Question & Answer session follows each presentation.
