Aviation industry gears up for World Route Development Forum
We’re now less than two weeks away from the start of the World Route Development Forum in Abu Dhabi and the show looks set to be one of the busiest yet.
The event is now in its 18th year and it’s widely considered to be the gathering of the year for the airline network planning community and those responsible for the development of airline services globally.

Also in attendance will be Air Dispatch International profiling its outsourced airline support and ground-breaking Centralised Load Control services.
