The Instituto de Turismo de España (Turespaña) and Aena will hold the sixth Air Connectivity Conference in Asturias during the first quarter of 2027, with backing from the Principality of Asturias. This event aims to boost international air connectivity and coordinate key messages effectively with destinations and partners.
The conference will provide a collaborative perspective on destinations and air connectivity, generating projects that offer benefits and added value to the tourism sector. It is also intended to enhance the appeal, strength, and competitiveness of Spain's network of destinations and airports.

The Air Connectivity Conferences began in 2022 in Valencia. Subsequent events have taken place in Sevilla (2023), Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (2024), Santander-Cantabria (2025), and Reus-Tarragona in April 2026. These meetings have become a key forum for strengthening collaboration between destinations and airlines, improving Spain's international connectivity.
This year's edition in Reus brought together around a hundred professionals from the air transport and promotion sectors, facilitating one-to-one meetings between 13 airlines and over 50 Spanish destinations to explore new opportunities for air connections with international markets.
