Event Programme
Routes Middle East & Africa opened on Sunday 31st May with the Strategy Summit which brought together leading industry experts to debate air service and route development issues in a series of moderator led panel discussions.
The core of the Routes events have always been the scheduled face-to face meetings, these took place throughout the event, presenting attendees with the opportunity to meet and discuss both new market opportunities and existing services.
Alongside these elements there were various informal networking opportunities which took place on exhibitor stands, alongside hosted lunches, a Welcome Reception and the Networking Evening.
