Bringing airports and airlines together
In March 2007 the Network route planning event took place in Tampa, Florida, bringing airports together with key airlines to do business in the Americas.
Since its launch in 2001 the event has grown rapidly and this year in Tampa over 300 delegates attended, making it the biggest Network event yet. More than 85 airports held over 700 face-to-face meetings with some 40 airline planners to discuss route opportunities in and to the Americas.
Network 2007 provided the perfect opportunity for airports to build relationships with the US majors, low-cost players and regional operators, as well as planners from Latin America and beyond.
The attendees at this exciting event got to:
- Hear our expert panel of speakers discuss global forecasts and trends in a half day conference
- Meet one-to-one with new and incumbent airlines
- Network with all the key players and expand your industry contacts in an informal environment.
Don't just take our word for it - see what our growing band of regular delegates have to say about the event. Many have signed up major deals following earlier events and we trust that there will be more again resulting from Network 2007.
"Network continues to be a useful and beneficial conference for Delta. As we continue to expand our global route map, Network provides us with an ideal forum to investigate new opportunities and enhance relationships with our current partners. In today's environment where time is at a premium, the ability to meet with so many new and current markets in a short amount of time is increasingly valuable."

"Network is an important venue for establishing and building relationships with airport and community leaders. We benefit from the education offered during the meetings and from the personal interaction during the social events. The event has grown a lot over the past couple of years and we enjoy the opportunity to explore a widening array of opportunities."

"Network has finally come into to its own. It has become a must attend event for airline planners and airport marketing/route development directors."

"I was pleased with Network 2006. It afforded Louis Armstrong International Airport the opportunity to get the word out that New Orleans is still in business and that the airport is recovering traffic at a faster pace than even we expected. We were very pleased with the appointments we had scheduled and the comments we received from the airline representatives."
