Routes Americas 2021: “beating on an open door – the feedback we’ve had could not be more positive” Steven Small, Brand Director, talks to anna.aero No Small achievement: “In the past three years, over 875 new routes in the Americas market are connected to meetings at Routes events – about half of all new route activity – that statistic demonstrates the level of engagement that takes place at Routes.” In a first for the route development community, Routes Americas is going ahead next month (Orlando, 23-25 June), marking a much-anticipated return of face-to-face networking. Much has changed in the industry over the past 18 months, but what hasn’t changed is the huge appetite for airlines to meet face-to-face and the importance of meaningful, personal relationships between airlines and airports.
