Routes is back

The global air service development community met again for the first time on 10-12 October in the Italian city of Milan. World Routes 2021 attracted some 1,700 delegates, which although down on the 2,800 people seen at the last European-hosted world event in Barcelona in 2017, was a highly respectable showing.
The number was considering the travel restrictions that prevented most Asia-Pacific based participants to attend. The event generated a party atmosphere as airline, airport, tourism and other officials worked and played following tight Covid-19 health protocols to resume their business activities in person.
The next event, Routes Americas, place from 15-17 February 2022 in the Texas city of San Antonio, while World Routes 2022 will also be in the USA, with Las Vegas hosting on 9-11 October.
