Vladimir Kamynin, Director for Aviation Business Development for Airports of Regions said: "ASM's training courses give a unique opportunity to gain valuable knowledge on the development of the route network, analytics and forecasting. We are delighted that International Airport Koltsovo, Ekaterinburg, Russia, has been chosen as this year's host for ASM's CIS based training.  This follows airport's significant experience of being a host of international conferences and a magnet for the industry professionals."

ASM has over 15 years experience in running the industry's most recognised and highly regarded route development training programmes for airports and organisations interested in making route development happen. Both courses are aimed at top and middle management route development professionals from the region and prove to be popular with 8 delegates registered already.

David Stroud, Managing Director, ASM commented: "Russia and CIS overall is a very fast developing market with aviation growth reaching double digits. However, the growth will not be a given for everyone and as the market liberalises, airport will need to compete hard to achieve success. We are pleased and excited to run both unique training courses in the CIS region again this year. Ekaterinburg Airport, as a previous Routes CIS Host and our longstanding partner, is the ideal host for this training."

The Company is quickly expanding and now includes Ekaterinburg Koltsovo Airport (SVX), Samara Kurumoch Intl. Airport (KUF), Nizhny Novgorod Intl.
