Routes Asia 2022 set to take place in Vietnam

Thursday, October 21, 2021

Routes Asia will take place in Vietnam for the first time in 2022. The coastal city of Da Nang will play host to the sixteenth installment of the aviation development forum. The air transport industry will be critical in enabling global economic recovery following the Covid-19 pandemic.

Increased air connectivity delivers substantial economic benefits to a destination – driving trade, tourism, investment, labour supply and market efficiency. Over the past three years, more than 400 new air services across the Asia-Pacific region have been connected to meetings at Routes events.

As the only dedicated route development event that unites decision makers across the entire region, Routes Asia will deliver a platform for airlines, airports and tourism authorities to develop strategies that will rebuild air connectivity across Asia-Pacific.

Le Trung Chinh, Chairman, Da Nang People’s Committee, said in a statement that Routes Asia will provide a golden opportunity to promote inbound tourism opportunities and drive the socio-economic growth for the city. He mentioned that by hosting the event, authorities will proactively position Da Nang as a hub for entrepreneurship, innovation, logistics, finance and culture.

Da Nang International Airport has a capacity of 12 million passengers along with modern facilities and considerate customer services. In 2019, the airport welcomed over 30 airlines operating 40 routes to/from 11 Asian countries and territories.

Although pandemic-related travel restrictions have inevitably curtailed growth, the outlook for air traffic in the region remains strong, giving authorities in Da Nang the confidence to push ahead with a series of airport infrastructure investments designed to increase capacity to 28 million passengers and 200,000 tons of cargo per year by 2030.

Speaking at World Routes, Steven Small, Director of Routes, said in a statement that they are very excited to be working with Da Nang People’s Committee and their strategic partners to bring Routes Asia to the city in 2022. He said that Routes Asia will play an integral part in Da Nang achieving its ambitious masterplan to become the socio-economic centre of the country by 2045.
