World airline route development conference and exhibition in
Istanbul, Türkiye earlier this month.

To learn more about some of the companies
exhibiting, Steven Howard of Travel News Asia conducted 15
impromptu video interviews which can be seen below and on their
own respective pages.
In the interviews, Steven asks why the companies
attend Routes World, how useful they found the event in Istanbul,
how post-Covid recovery is progressing, passenger and
visitor arrival numbers for 2023, targets for 2024, what
sustainable initiatives they have in place and plan to introduce
in the future, and how they are using technology to improve the
overall
travel experience as well as their own operations.
Each interview is available in HD video and
podcast formats.
Routes World 2024 will take place in Bahrain from 6 to 8 October.
