AvGroup Chairman, Robert Booth has announced the formation of a strategic alliance with RDG for the purpose of assisting in the growth of more air service to, from and within Latin American.

According to Booth, the initiative will commence with Regional Americas, an airline/airport networking event to be held in Cancun February 10-12, 2008. The event is organized by RDG, supported by AvGroup and hosted by ASUR.

The agreement also calls for the establishment of an AvGroup/RDG presence in Miami, Fl to better serve the needs of the Americas and the development of new business opportunities.

"We are extremely pleased and excited to formalize a business alliance with RDG" said Mr. Booth. "We have known the principals of RDG for a number of years and look forward in playing a major role in the introduction of RDG to the Americas".

RDG is the world's largest independent air service development company and is the organizer of ROUTES, the world Route Development Forum, now in its 14th year. The 2007 version of Routes was held in Stockholm this last September and attracted over 2,300 air service development professionals from over 500 major airlines and 600 airports from all over the world. The 2008 ROUTES is scheduled for October 12-14 in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia and is hosted by Malaysia Airports.
