Routes World 2022

Routes World, which brings together decision makers from airlines, airports and destinations to define the world’s route networks, is heading back to Las Vegas in 2022.

As the 2021 edition of the event drew to a close, SEA Milan Airports handed over the hosting responsibilities of the event to Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) and McCarran International Airport.

Having hosted the 2013 edition of the event, the LVCVA and McCarran International Airport will again welcome the global route development community to the city that has been named the No. 1 Trade Show Destination for 26 consecutive years.

The aviation industry is an integral part of economies across the globe and, in Las Vegas, McCarran International Airport serves as an economic engine that powers the city’s tourism industry. In 2019, the total economic impact of the industry for the city surpassed $63bn.

By continuing significant development projects throughout the pandemic, including the expansion of the Las Vegas Convention Center and the construction of three new resorts that added more than 6,000 new hotel rooms to the destination, Las Vegas has ensured it is poised to capitalise on the new opportunities created as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

By consistently uniting decision-makers from the global route development community, Routes World has made a real impact on the world’s air services – over half of the world’s new routes are connected to meetings at the event. VPs and Heads of Network Planning from 250 of the world’s leading carriers are expected to attend the event in Las Vegas.
