Routesonline FAQs
Why are we introducing the Directory Fee?
The simple reason is to assist better communication. The Routes events provide a unique platform for airlines, airports and tourism authorities to discuss future air services. Following feedback from all three groups, they wanted to ensure that they could be better prepared for their meetings and continue conversations and contact throughout the year. To facilitate this we wanted to ensure that all profiles on routesonline are accurate and informative. The nominal fee is simply to incentivise organisations to keep their online profile up to date and utilise the resource available.
When will the Directory Fee’s be introduced?
All basic profiles will remain active until 23rd March 2015. From this point they will be hidden until the Directory Fee has been agreed by the customer. At this point the profile will be restored to the site without any loss of information. The Directory fee is applicable per Company and not per delegate.
What do I receive once I have confirmed the Directory Fee?
As part of a basic profile your company will receive:
- A Logo and profile link featured on the event attended lists.
- Automatic aggregation of news mentioning your organisation on your profile
- Up to 5 Community Blog Posts a year
- Access to the re-launched Request for Proposals from airlines.
- Unlimited number of contact and users
- Profile promoted on new electronic meeting system.
How long does the membership to the Directory last?
Payment of the Directory Fee covers your company’s memberships for a 12 month period. Ongoing annual renewals will be required and this can be renewed for the following year at any point.
How do I confirm that I would like to go ahead and continue with the company profile?
If you have not yet confirmed your delegate or exhibition stand at any of the 2015 Routes events, you can confirm this at the point of booking and it can be added to the same invoice. All currently registered organisations will be sent a booking form to complete shortly.
