This year we are expanding our content offer at our events and are launch a new "Route Case" analysis. This is a short Route Exchange-type briefing and discussion from industry experts about a new or recent route launch corresponding to the area of the world hosting the forum.

This launched earlier this year at Routes Americas in San Juan with a presentation on Norwegian's recently introduced route between New York John F Kennedy International Airport and Martinique’s Aimé Césaire, the international airport of Martinique in the French West Indies.

It was successfully followed by two presentations at Routes Asia in Manila in March. These looked at the initial performance on Air India's recently launched link between Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport and San Francisco International Airport and insight into Emirates Airline's thinking behind its soon to launch new triangle route into the Philippines serving Clark International Airport and Mactan-Cebu International Airport from its Dubai International Airport hub.

It then continued at Routes Europe last month with a presentation on the recently launched route from bmi regional between Southampton and Munich and which included input from both the airline and one of the airports served on the reasons why the route was selected.

All four presentations took place in front of a packed audience and will continue to take place at all our regional events during 2016. At Routes Africa the presentation will occur on Monday 27th June in Tenerife, Canary Islands and will be conducted by our sister consultancy, ASM.

Route Case 1

Route Case 2

Have you wondered what enticed an airline to a certain destination? What the data says about demand on the city pair and connecting markets? What external factors may have influenced the airline in selecting a specific city pair? How this business case differs from others?

The "Route Case" will seek to provide the answers to these questions and offer additional network development insights all within a single 20 minute meeting slot.

Today we open a poll for you to vote on which route you would like us to discuss in Tenerife during Routes Africa.

You have the choice between ten options and voting will close at 00:01 GMT on Thursday 12th May, when we will announce the winning selection and add it to the formal programme for Routes Africa.
