The 13th Routes Asia, the largest route development forum for the entire Asia region, will open this weekend in Kunming, capital city of the Yunnan Province of China.
This year's event, which will take place from 15 to 17 March, is hosted by Yunnan Airport Group owners of Kunming Changshui International Airport, and supported by their partners Yunnan Provincial Civil Aviation Development and Management Bureau and Yunnan Provincial Tourism Development Commission.
The last time Routes Asia took place in China was in Chengdu in 2012, hosted by Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport who were subsequently selected to host World Routes, the 22nd World Route Development Forum in 2016.
Routes Asia will bring together 800 delegates representing 118 airlines, almost 230 airports and almost 60 countries to develop new air services to, from and within the Asia-Pacific region. The event attracts the highest level of decision-makers, including many industry leaders and senior policy makers.
Mr. Tang Xuefan, President of Yunnan Airport Group Co., Ltd. Commented: "We are greatly honoured to host Routes Asia 2015 in Kunming. This great event is a good opportunity for Yunnan Airport Group Co., Ltd. and all airports in Asia to communicate with and work with airlines and tourism organisations.
It is also a key platform to join the efforts of both the air transport industry and tourism industry for more sustainable development in Yunnan, China and the Asia-Pacific region. On behalf of YAG, I wish all delegates truly feel and enjoy the colourful Yunnan and paradise of tourism."
"We are very pleased to return this year to China with Route Asia 2015" said Katie Bland, Director Routes for UBM EMEA continuing: "Our Host, Yunnan Airport Group is very pro-active at marketing to airlines and has attended many Routes events. Through now hosting Routes Asia, they have the opportunity to showcase Kunming Changshui International Airport as well as the city of Kunming and Yunnan Province.
On behalf of Routes, I wish all delegates a productive and successful Routes Asia and hope that they will take every opportunity to explore Kunming – the ‘City of Eternal Spring' and the natural beauty of the Yunnan Province."
