St. Petersburg to Host First Ever ASM Route Development Training in CIS

MANCHESTER, England, Jan. 31/PRN=KYODO JBN/ --
For the first time ASM, the world route development consultants, are
running a training course in the CIS region. This inaugural CIS programme gets
off to flying start with not one, but two courses being held in St. Petersburg:
The Fundamentals of Route Development, 5-6 February 2013 and a Traffic
Forecasting Masterclass, 7-8 February 2013.
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 of these
courses are aimed at route development professionals at all levels and the
promise of cold weather in St. Petersburg in February has not deterred the
delegates! Currently eight delegates are booked onto each course with
representation from several countries and 10 different airports.
It is symbolic that the location for the first ever CIS based training is
St. Petersburg given that ASM has completed two very successful projects with
St. Petersburg International Pulkovo Airport in the past. ASM provided overall
support and played an important role in attracting Emirates to St. Petersburg.
ASM were also appointed as traffic advisor to the regional government as part
of the privatisation of St. Petersburg. This was the first Public Private
Partnership (PPP) in the aviation sector in the region and one of the first
within all sectors in the region.
"The CIS region is an exciting market for ASM as there is a lot happening
right now," says Tony Griffin, Senior Vice President ASM. He further explains:
"ASM has extensive experience of the CIS market and this is a great opportunity
for route development professionals in the CIS to get together as well as
further develop their skills & knowledge of their industry."
Evgeny Ilyin, Chief Commercial Officer of Saint Petersburg International
Pulkovo Airport, commented: "St. Petersburg is delighted to be hosting the
first ASM training course to take place in CIS region and we look forward to
furthering our knowledge and understanding of route development which we can
apply to our future dealings with airlines."
To date, St. Petersburg International Pulkovo Airport, which is the third
largest airport in Russia (after Moscow Domodedovo and Moscow Sheremetyevo),
remains the only airport in the country to implement a PPP. The "Northern
Capital Gateway" is an international consortium, formed by VTB Capital, Fraport
AG, the world's leading airport operator with its headquarters in Frankfurt,
and the Greek investment group Copelouzos.
St. Petersburg International Pulkovo Airport currently serves 157 scheduled
destinations with 70 scheduled airlines with 38% of its passenger traffic
generated by Rossiya the airport's base carrier. It is one of the few airports
in Russia to have implemented an incentives scheme for airlines and in 2012 was
the winner of the first ever CIS regional heat of the Routes Airport Marketing
Awards. At present a project is underway at the airport to build a new
passenger terminal with a capacity of 17 million passengers. The expected
completion of this project is during the first quarter of 2014.
