Young Leaders
The Young Leaders initiative at World Routes 2019 is designed for the route development industry’s future leaders. It is a dedicated programme which offers preferential rates for more junior members of the community (aged 30 or under) who have not attended a Routes event before.
For a discounted rate of £799, delegates attending World Routes 2019 as a Young Leader will gain exclusive exposure to every corner of the route development industry, from observing negotiations with senior airline network planners to learning about the trends currently shaping the future of aviation.

Attend meetings
Each Young Leader delegate will have the opportunity to experience first-hand the crucial discussions that take place between airlines and airports or destinations when negotiating a new route proposal. Young Leader delegates will be able to accompany their colleagues to observe meetings scheduled for their organisation.
Hear from CEOs
The Young Leader delegate place will grant full access to the event conference programme, where they will hear from heavyweights who will provide exclusive insight into the factors driving change and opportunity in the industry. The line-up will include airBaltic’s CEO, Martin Gauss, Tiger Airways’ CEO, Merren McArthur and Saudia’s CEO, Jaan Albrecht.
Be recognised by the industry
The World Routes Awards are known as the most prestigious accolades in route development. This year the awards will include a Rising Star category which will recognise the potential of individuals in the early stages of their career. Young Leader delegates will have the opportunity to experience the ceremony and explore the possibility of nominating themselves for this category at future Routes events.
Access educational content
In addition to the industry-leading knowledge and insight that will be shared during the World Routes 2019 conference programme, the Young Leader delegate place will include additional content designed to educate junior attendees around the fundamentals of route development, as well as provide a full overview of the format of the event and how to make the most of attending World Routes 2019.
Network with the global route development community
The World Routes 2019 event programme will provide endless opportunites to develop industry-wide connections that will help Young Leader delegates to accelerate career growth and establish their presence within the community. Attendees can look forward to the event's Welcome Party, Networking Evening, regular networking breaks throughout the three business days of the event and even a festival introduced specifically for 2019 in celebration of Routes' 25th birthday.
