Scheduling for Routes Europe, which will take place on 12-14 May 2013, opened earlier this week and with over 700 meetings scheduled during the first 24 hours it is recommended that delegates make their requests as soon as possible to avoid disappointment!
Now in its 8thyear, Routes Europe is the only network planning forum for the entire European region and the 2013 event, hosted by Budapest Airport, will take place in Budapest, the beautiful historic capital of Hungary. Routes Europe brings together over 800 delegates from airports, airlines, tourism authorities and other industry stakeholders from across Europe to discuss air service development.
The event attracts key decision makers from a wide variety of airlines represented by senior key decision makers that are responsible for making decisions on both new and existing routes. Airlines who have already confirmed their attendance at Routes Europe 2013 include low cost carriers; Ryanair, easyJet, Germanwings, Jet2.comnorweigan and Wizz Air along with many European flag carriers such as Alitalia, CSA Czech Airlines, SAS Scandinavian Airlines and Turkish Airlines. This year has also seen a number of first time registrations from out of region carriers such as UPS, SriLankan Airlines and Nordwind. The complete and up to date list of attending airlines can be found here.
Routes Europe delegates can now log into their Routesonline profile and use the new and improved online Meeting Requests System, which made its debut last year when it was used for World Routes in Abu Dhabi, to make meeting requests with other attendees. The new and improved website allows airports, airlines, tourism authority delegates and anyone else with an entitlement of pre-arranged meetings to log-in and submit their requests online. The system also provides delegates with the perfect platform to request and prepare for their meetings at Routes Europe as, during the requesting process, access to Routesonline company profiles is available helping delegates select the right companies to meet with by providing all the information Routesonline has to offer straight to the central meeting requests page.
One of the major improvements on the site is the provision for delegates to view their draft diaries online. Closer to the event a completely live and updated version of your draft diary will be available to view online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via the personal requests page. This should allow delegates to better prepare for the meetings they expect to take place in Budapest and increase the overall Routes experience.
