We’re attending the latest edition of the world’s leading international forum of the commercial airline industry, Routes World, where we’ve been nominated by airlines for the Routes prize for the world’s best route development team. The other nominees are Cape Town Air Access (South Africa), Visit Malta and two heavyweight countries, represented by Tourism Australia and JNTO (Japan National Tourism Organization).

The Canary Islands are currently one of the world’s best connected tourism destinations. The region has 731 routes operated by 53 airlines with connections to 146 airports, and 9.4 million seats scheduled for the winter season, up 30.7% from 2019.

The airlines we’ll be talking to include American Airlines, United Airlines, Air Canada, Air Transat, Westjet, Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa Group, Easyjet, Lot Polish, Vueling, Wizz Air, TAP, Jetblue, Edelweiss, Condor and Brussels Airlines.
