Routes Europe Comes to Antalya

Routes Europe Comes to Antalya At a ceremony held during Routes Europe 2026 in Italy (May 18–20),

Fraport TAV Antalya Airport officially took over hosting duties for Routes Europe from the previous host, Rimini (representing the Emilia-Romagna Region, the Municipality of Rimini, and Rimini & San Marino International Airport).

Held in a different city each year, Routes Europe brings together senior decision-makers from airlines, airports, and tourism authorities to support the development of flight routes across Europe and the surrounding regions. The 2027 event in Antalya is expected to facilitate over 5,000 meetings among industry leaders and pave the way for strong partnerships that foster sustainable growth in air travel.

Having set a historic record by welcoming 39.2 million passengers in 2025, Antalya Airport has once again demonstrated its pivotal role in supporting the region's booming tourism sector. By hosting Routes Europe 2027, the airport will have the opportunity to showcase Antalya to the European aviation community not merely as a summer destination, but as a location worth visiting throughout the year. Routes Europe, which regularly unites Europe’s route development community, has a long-standing track record of success in the aviation industry; notably, more than half of all new air routes launched in Europe originate from discussions held at this event. The Routes Europe 2027 event in Antalya is expected to draw significant participation from senior executives representing airports and tourism authorities, alongside 120 of Europe’s leading airlines.
