A major event for the aviation industry, Routes World 2024 opened its doors yesterday (October 6) drawing 2,300 industry experts from 110 countries, including 230 airlines and 530 airports.

 

Commending the success of Routes World 2024 event, Buhiji said such events reflects Bahrain’s readiness, in terms of infrastructure, to host large-scale events, thus reinforcing its position as a regional and international hub for aviation and logistics.
