Building on the success of the first ever Routes Europe Strategy Summit which took place in 2012 this year’s event promises to deliver even more high level industry leaders.
Josef Varadi, CEO of Wizz Air has already confirmed that he will give the keynote address during the Strategy Summit, which will open the event in Budapest on Sunday 12thMay. This hard hitting interactive event is free to attend for all registered delegates and is set to give a valuable insight into aviation across the whole of Europe.
The panel of leading industry experts which so far includes John Hanlon, Secretary General of ELFAA, Fernando Estrada, Strategy & Alliance Director for Vueling, François Bouteiller, CEO of Nasair and Vijay Poonoosamy, VP International & Public Affairs of Etihad Airways and Chair of IATA Industry Affairs Committee will take part in a number of moderator led discussions addressing aviation and route development issues affecting the region. Topics such as the effect that the EU freeze on ETS will have on traffic from the US and China into the EU, the future evolution of the low cost carrier business model and consolidations, mergers and alliances will all be discussed during the afternoon.
Routes Europe, now in its 8thyear, has seen year on year growth and in 2013 over 800 delegates, including 100 airlines, from across Europe and beyond descend on the Hungarian capital to meet and discuss Europe’s future networks. Also continuing from the success of last year, delegates will have more opportunities to meet at the event as Face-to-Face Meeting will, once again, take place on the Sunday afternoon in addition to the usual two day meeting programme.
This unrivalled event connects the entire European market and will also provide attendees with an opportunity to prepare for World Routes which will take place later in the year in Las Vegas.
