World Routes is the largest gathering of airline and airport CEOs and key industry leaders.
Our promise is simple. We deliver the senior figures from airlines, airports and tourism
organisations who make the real business decisions on air services. Whether youre an
airline or airport CEO, a Minister for Tourism or a government representative, every Routes
event is the perfect platform to discuss with your peers the commercial or political agenda
for the aviation or tourism industry.
That means we can guarantee that World Routes 2013 will see the largest gathering of
aviation and tourism decision makers in one location, for three whole days.
All in the entertainment capital of the world.
