    Two new appointments announced for World Route Development Consultants

    2014 promises to be an exciting period for ASM with the New Year bringing

the announcement of new staff joining the company.

    Mike St Laurent joins ASM in February following a distinguished career with

Air Canada where he was a leading figure within the Scheduling, Network

Planning and Revenue Management functions. Known to many across the route

development community, Mike will be based at ASM's Head Quarters office in

Manchester and as a Senior Consultant will support the company's global client

base. Mike commented: "I am thrilled to be joining ASM. This is an exciting new

opportunity for me, and I'm looking forward eagerly to working with the ASM

team to deliver positive results for our clients worldwide."

    In addition to the recruitment of Mike St Laurent, ASM are also announcing

the appointment of Yuliya Crane as a Senior Consultant. Yuliya has been part of

the Routes and ASM business since 2006, providing expertise across the CIS

market as well as supporting globally based clients for ASM.

    ASM's Managing Director, David Stroud, said: "We are absolutely delighted

with our two new appointments in 2014. Mike brings a wealth of airline

practical experience and Yuliya is a true rising star within the company, our

global clients will benefit greatly from their expertise and enthusiasm.

Airports and stakeholders are very much entering a new era of route

development, the new team we have assembled in ASM ensures we are best placed

to service our client's needs and deliver them real results".

    ASM's business grew dramatically in 2013 and the prospects for continued

expansion in 2014 look very strong. In addition to the above appointments
