Network to Come Under Routes Umbrella

Manchester, England (ots/PRNewswire) -

Network USA to merge with Routes events to create definitive route
development event

In a significant development for the airline, airport and tourism
communities in North and South America, UBM Live and Flightglobal
have agreed that the Network USA event will transfer to Routes
control. This merging of events will create a single definitive event
platform for the airline, airport and tourism communities from the
Americas region.

In 2014, delegates who have previously attended Network are
encouraged to sign up for Routes Americas, held in El Salvador in
February, and for World Routes, held in Chicago in September.

"We are delighted to invite the Network USA community to Routes
and look forward to welcoming as many North American air service
development professionals as possible to Routes Americas 2014 in San
Salvador in February, World Routes 2014 in Chicago in September
followed by Routes Americas in Denver in February 2015 - the first
time that the regional event will have taken place in the US," said
Adrian Newton, Group Director, Transport & Technology for UBM Live.
"This partnership will provide the North American aviation route
development community with a more focused event programme to assist
them in their route development pursuits."

"Network USA, which has developed over the past decade to become a
key route development event for North America, will go from
strength-to-strength with this historic agreement," said Mark
Pilling, Flightglobal's Head of Publishing.

"Moreover, Flightglobal/Airline Business is delighted to be named
as Routes' official events partner and supporting UBM in developing
the entire suite of World Routes and Regional Routes events," said
Pilling.

Routes and Flightglobal are joining forces to support the route
development community, Routes will provide focused route development
events and Flightglobal will support the community through data
provision and publications.
