Press Release: CONNECT announces CAGLIARI as 2019 destination

“The event proved to be a valuable opportunity for us to consolidate meetings with our existing airline partners and connect with a few key service providers we collaborate with. Additionally, engaging in conversations with various airports brought about interesting insights. While my primary expectation was centered around networking, I found the event to be a valuable platform for fostering meaningful professional relationships.”

“Tangier was a good choice for this year Connect. Event well organised with chance for number of meetings in a nice atmosphere. Everything was not "overwhelming". Good organisation of meetings in Business Lounge.”

“I am happy and proud to have been part of the inaugural event! I am confident that future New World events will help further explore the untapped potential of this underserved region and open up newer opportunities to connect aviation, tourism and economies.”

“Fantastic event, as ever! CONNECT helps our industry to build networks and air routes which are more important than ever to help our mixed-up world. Bravo to the whole team and see you next year!”

“We had more than 35 formal meetings held with Airports, Airlines and have turned Business Cases discussed at last year’s CONNECT into reality, launching routes such as BUD, ROM and ZIA.”

“Thank you for the event organisation. As always excellent organisation, quality meetings, transfers worked well, and the food was great during the event (which makes a massive difference). Thank you, we look forward to next year’s event!”

“Great event to meet and greet friends and colleagues from the industry in the Latin American and Caribbean region.”

“CONNECT New World was, in my opinion, a fantastic, necessary and useful initiative.”

“Second time at CONNECT and it just gets better, thank you for a great conference!”

“Very nicely arranged with proper spreading of breaks and meetings.”

“CONNECT offers the opportunity to network and catch-up with airports from Europe and beyond, in a very relaxed setting. In 2020, the event helped us launch 5 new routes to Italy and France. In 2022 we will be in Tampere to join new conversations and new projects for our network.”

“First time in CONNECT for Madagascar’s team and thank you so much, everything was perfect!”

“Thank you, team CONNECT for a wonderful event in Tampere. We are always happy being a close partner of CONNECT and good friends with all of you!”

“The venue was great, the meetings were long enough, the location and events were superb, the general ambiance was really pleasurable.”

“An excellent 3 days full of meetings and great networking events. A very good opportunity to meet airports we would not have thought about creating brainstorming opportunities.”

“The CONNECT format, with a limited number of participants, created the perfect environment for networking. And the location itself was exceptional. I can’t recall any other event where I felt so inspired to kickstart new routes, but Santa Domingo did just that.”

“The skydive was an amazing experience. Beautiful to see the island from above! The conference was very professional but had a relaxed vibe, which I believe was due to the fact that it was held in Sardinia.”

“Perfect, relaxed, and still profitable, business wise…you have to come!!”

“Definitely a "must attend" aviation conference during our calendar year.”

“Phenomenal opportunity to connect with industry leaders and suppliers.”

“What an amazing event! We loved the venue, the city and all the opportunities that came with CONNECT! Thank you!”

“Perfect organization, both for meetings and for leisure time. CONNECT does compare better than other events in the aviation industry, with longer meeting slots, less stressed timing, which helps people talking and doing business.”

“During the event we had a lot of scheduled and unscheduled meetings, giving us many opportunities to meet with airport delegates. Thank you for the help and support!”

“Attending CONNECT is always a very good opportunity to meet wonderful people and work on great projects. Always pleased to be a very small piece of the big puzzle of aviation.”

“I was highly impressed by the level of organization at the event. It ran smoothly and provided a unique opportunity to connect with representatives from smaller Caribbean airports, a rarity at other conferences.”

“What a fantastic CONNECT conference in Cagliari, over 40 meetings in 3 days which is a new record for RDC. A great opportunity to catch up with clients and introduce other companies to our products.”

“Good meetings and good networking with relevant people for our business. Hopefully, we can come again to CONNECT.”

“The experience was excellent before and during the event; thank you very much for your effort. Keep going!”

“Great organization, perfect conditions, delicious food, very friendly and cosy atmosphere and professional communication. Meetings at CONNECT are always very productive! We hope next year will be at least as excellent as it was in 2022!”

“I managed to have over 20 scheduled meetings with current and potential airline partners”
