In this annual meeting, they deliberate on how best to enhance air services and meet the growing needs of local business, industry, tourism, research organizations, and other sectors. The scale of Routes is unique, which represents over 100 airline companies and 150 airports from all over the world.
So far, Routes has been held in 11 cities across the globe last year’s event had being hosted in Dubai International Exhibition and Convention Centre, while 2007 and 2008 events will be hosted by Stockholm City Conference Centre and Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, respectively.
GHIAL has been taking part in ‘Routes’ conferences since 2004 and proactively marketing the new international airport in Shamshabad. It, however, felt that it would market the airport and the Pearl City of Hyderabad to the global airline companies more effectively by hosting the event, rather than participating in it elsewhere.
The Company will manage the entire event on its own by taking care of various aspects such as planning, conference venue, hotel accommodation for over 500 delegates, logistics, and PR and promotion, besides safety and security issues.
The Company fervently hopes that hosting the Forum meet here would enable it to effectively market the city of Hyderabad to the global airliners that would in turn help it achieve its ultimate goal of making Hyderabad a transit hub for global air travelers in the years to come.
