About me
My name is Nicola Manenti, and I’m an industrial engineer with over 15 years of experience in the operational management of manufacturing companies, both in Italy and abroad.
Throughout my career, I’ve held leadership roles in multinational and structured companies, managing production plants, people, budgets and costs, investments, industrial innovation, and supply chains.
Today, I serve as General Manager of two production sites in Romania, part of an Italian group, where I oversee more than 600 people. Business travel is part of my everyday life.
And it’s precisely from this experience that Airnect was born.
How it all started
Every day, thousands of professionals pass through airports.
But almost no one talks, and even fewer truly connect.
I asked myself:
“Why not make the most of waiting time to create new connections and opportunities?”
ChatGPT ha detto:
Airnect is the answer to that question.
A simple, geolocated platform designed for those who, like me, believe in the power of networking, even between flights.

How it works

Connect and chat on the fly

Meet. Connect. Grow.
How many business opportunities have flown right past you… without you even noticing?
With Airnect, every trip becomes a real opportunity for growth.
