Ural Airlines is going to act as the official air carrier of the international forum ROUTES CIS 2012; the forum will be held in Yekaterinburg on June 24-26, 2012. Ural Airlines is one of Russia’s largest carriers that keeps on expanding its network of destinations around the CIS, so it’s only logical that that the airline supports such a large-scale, important event in the aviation industry, the airline’s press service reports.

The aviation forum Routes CIS will be held on the Russian territory for the first time this year. The event is usually attended by representatives of the major airports and largest air carriers, so acting as the forum’s host means introducing the visitors from the CIS, Europe, and Asia to the economic, industrial, and tourist potential of the host city and its airport. The forum is an opportunity to hold plenty of meetings with business partners from different countries over a short period of time. It is expected to be attended by over two hundred guests from the CIS, Europe, and Asia. Among the guests are the representatives of governments, world-famous aviation consultant firms, travel agents, and federal and local media. The agenda of Routes CIS 2012 covers a strategic discussion with heads of branch ministries and departments and top managers of aviation companies and airports. The keynote theme of the discussion is the current state of affairs in the CIS aviation industry and the problems it is struggling with.
