About ASM
- Airport Strategy & Marketing Ltd (ASM) is a subsidiary of RDG. It was founded in 1993 and was the first management consulting company specializing in the field of route development for airports.
- ASM works exclusively for airports, helping them expand their route networks and bring economic development to their surrounding regions. The results that have been achieved support ASM's claim to be the world leader in its field.
- ASM does not contract to airlines. This gives its consultants the unique ability to protect their objectivity and freedom to act in the best way possible for every client. Carriers understand that there are no conflicts of interest and, as such, relationships with them are based on trust and mutual respect.

This has enabled ASM to develop a track record without equal in delivering new routes for airports across all airline sectors.
