Gibraltar Tourism was represented at the CONNECT Aviation Conference held in Lublin, Poland, from 16–19 February 2026 by CEO for Tourism Product Development, Kevin Bossino, and Senior Executive Officer of the Gibraltar Tourist Board, Audisa Rodriguez.

The 22nd edition of CONNECT Aviation brought together 75 airlines, representatives from 60 countries, and 280 airports, providing an important platform for strategic discussions on air connectivity and route development.

Kevin Bossino commented: “CONNECT Aviation provided an excellent opportunity to engage directly with key stakeholders across the airline industry. As we prepare for the implementation of the new Treaty, it was timely to promote the enhanced operating conditions and significant air connectivity potential that will arise from it.”

Minister for Equality, Employment, Culture and Tourism, Christian Santos, added: “As we prepare to capitalise on the opportunities that the new Treaty will create, it is essential that we actively participate in major industry forums such as CONNECT. These events allow us to raise awareness that Gibraltar will become a Schengen-entry airport, with an expanded catchment area that strengthens its attractiveness to airlines and passengers alike.”
