AUA Airport attends Connect New World 2023
First regional air service network conference
ORANJESTAD – The Aviation Business Development team of the Aruba Airport Authority N.V. (AAA) recently attended the first Connect New World conference held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. A three-day conference geared specifically to route development in and for the Americas and the Caribbean. Mrs. Barbara Brown, Chief Revenue Development & Communications Officer and Mrs. Jo-anne Meaux-Arends, Aviation Business Development Executive, on behalf of AAA, joined airlines, airports, and tourism decision makers to connect and drive the future of aviation in the specific region.
The conference was hosted by the Ministry of Tourism of Santo Domingo, Vinci Airports and Santo Domingo Airport together with various sponsors and partners of the event. AUA Airport was one of the event partners at this inaugural Connect New World in the region.
Connect New World provided AUA Airport the opportunity to meet with several industry partners which support AUA Airport’s aviation business development activities. In addition, the conference brought opportunities for creating new and further developing existing networks.
“More than 15 meetings were held with airports, airlines, industry suppliers, and FBO charter companies. These meetings presented new opportunities and insights within the industry in the region and most importantly to help foster existing relationships with our airline partners and forge new ones within the aviation industry”, said Mrs. Meaux-Arends. “During the event a long-pursued route was finally crystallized and will result in a new route for the airlift to and from Aruba, which will be announced at the end of this year. Other new airline partners shared their future strategic vision which includes possible operations to and from Aruba in 2024 or 2025. Existing partners also shared additional frequencies that will be included in the upcoming winter season 2023/2024 and beyond.”
Mrs. Brown: “With its considerable size and its regional focus Connect New World has proven to be a perfect fit for AUA Airport where airline and industry partner relationships can continue to be nurtured in an intimate and relaxed setting. Meetings with the right teams of airlines and industry partners has initiated new connections and grown current connections even further for AUA Airport. The event itself is also the perfect opportunity for an island nation in the Caribbean, this time being the Dominican Republic, to show case itself within the region as a tourism destination.”
During the conference several keynote speaker presentations along with panel discussions with leaders in the industry were held, and air service development master classes were provided. The
industry topics that were discussed were related to subjects such as opportunities for Low-Cost Carriers in the Americas, regional connectivity, and ensuring sustainable tourism.
Connect New World is set to become the newest air service development networking conference geared especially to the Caribbean and Latin America region. AUA Airport is proud to have been part of this inaugural conference held in the Dominican Republic as an event partner and looks forward to attending more of these in the future.
