In 2012 Routes, ASM and the Airport Cities Conference and Exhibition became part of the UBM Live division of UBM plc. Each year, they host one global event and one regional event in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas respectively. Orbis has attended the World Routes Development Forum meetings in Malaysia, Canada, Germany and the UAE where the Orbis CSR Award was given to an airline for their CSR initiatives as part of the Routes Award ceremony.
Routes
Since 2006, Orbis has been Routes charity of choice. Founded in 1995 as part of the Manchester based ASM Ltd., a consultancy specialising in the field of route development for airports, Routes organises world-renowned airline and airport networking events through its regional and global Route Development Forums.
In conjunction with the airline industry’s 18th World Route Development Forum, the Orbis Flying Eye Hospital was hosted at Al Bateen Executive Airport thanks to the generosity of the Abu Dhabi Airports Company.
