Route Exchange Airline Briefings are exclusively open to attending airport and tourism authority delegates. Year on year the programme of airline briefings continues to go from strength to strength, as is shown by the success of the briefings held during last year’s Routes events. Delivered by senior network planners and scheduled over two meeting slots, these ever popular briefings provide delegates with an 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. Briefings also provide an opportunity for attending airports to gain an overview of the carriers, 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.

At this year’s Routes Americas event, several high profile airlines, who are looking to launch new services within the Americas have confirmed that they will deliver a briefing outlining the route development opportunities that exist and how airports can be part of their airline expansion.

TAG, Tropic Air, and CM Airlines will deliver a Niche Market Airline Briefing. This briefing will discuss the growth of the niche airline market within Central America and how this complements the more traditional and legacy carriers of the region along with the outlook for the future and growing demand for this segment. How this will benefit the airports and tourism entities of the region will also be looked at.

Other confirmed briefings include one from JetBlue delivered by the carrier’s Director, Network Planning, John Checketts. InterCaribbean Airways, the newly rebranded Air Turks & Caicos, has recently expanded operations and will deliver a briefing discussing the opportunities available whilst Cayman Islands based start-up BlueSky Airlines will present a briefing outlining their plan to run scheduled flights connecting the Caribbean and Latin America.

Places are limited and airport delegates should contact Simon Baxendale, Scheduling Manager for Routes Americas to add briefings to your diary of pre-scheduled meetings. Click here for further information about the programme of Route Exchange Briefings and to register for Routes Americas 2014.
