Routes and ALTA Announce Event Collaboration

Manchester, England (ots/PRNewswire) -

Routes and Latin American Airline Association ALTA will partner
for Cartagena event

The Routes business today announced a partnership with the Latin
American and Caribbean Air Transport Association (ALTA), a private,
non-profit organization, whose more than 40 member airlines represent
over 90 percent of the region's commercial air traffic. ALTA
coordinates the collaborative efforts of its members in order to
facilitate the development of safer, more efficient and
environmentally friendly air transport in the Latin America and
Caribbean region for the benefit of the association's members, their
customers and the industry in general.

This partnership has been forged to further develop the 6th Routes
Americas, which will take place on 10-12 February 2013 in Cartagena
de Indias, Colombia and will be hosted by Sociedad Aeroportuaria de
la Costa S.A. (SACSA) and its partners. The event, which is the
annual gathering of air service decision makers for the entire
Americas region, will bring together more than 350 delegates from
airports, airlines, tourism authorities and other industry
stakeholders from across the Americas to discuss air service
development.

Executive Vice President, Routes, David Stroud commented "We are
delighted to announce this partnership with ALTA. We have worked
together for many years but having a formalised agreement with them
for our Routes Americas event will ensure strong attendance from
their 43 member airlines and will secure the key players from the
Latin American and Caribbean regions into our already highly regarded
conference programme."

Alex de Gunten, Executive Director, ALTA comments "The unequalled
experience of Routes in bringing airports and airlines together,
coupled with ALTA's leading presence and network in the Latin America
and Caribbean region will maximize the value to all the
participants."
