In April of this year the 9^th Routes Europe, the region’s largest annual route development forum, will take place in Marseille hosted by Marseille-Provence Airport.

Routes Europe is the largest of the regional route development events organised by Routes and has seen year on year growth with over 1,100 delegates, including over 100 airlines, from across Europe and beyond, expected to attend in 2014. This annual event is the only network planning event where airlines, airports and tourism authorities meet to discuss route development for the entire European region. With more than 6,000 route development meetings taking place over three days the event offers an unrivalled platform for airlines and airports to do business face to face with the key decision makers in the industry.

Along with the Face-to-Face meetings, which are at the core of the event, there will be a strong exhibition element and the event will open with the Routes Europe Strategy Summit which will bring together thought leaders and decision makers from across the aviation sector under one roof. The Summit, which is open to all Routes Europe delegates and promises to be a thought-provoking start to the event, will provide valuable insights into aviation across the region during a number of moderator led panel discussions addressing the hottest topics facing the industry.

Route Exchange Airline Briefings will, once again, be a key feature of the event. These live airline briefings from key carriers and senior personnel will outline opportunities for airline growth, provide an opportunity to discuss their requirements to their target airport market and invite airports to bid for new service. In 2013 Route Exchange Airline Briefings were delivered by, amongst others, easyJet, Air France, Lufthansa, Darwin Airline, Skywork Airlines & Germanwings and details of the 2014 briefings will be available soon here.
