“We are delighted that we have been chosen as the hosts for this prestigious meeting of the aviation in our hemisphere. Yet another unique opportunity to showcase St. Maarten’s tourism and aviation products. And just as we were able to stage a well professional and memorable platform for the Airports Conference of the Americas, we will present Network Latin America 2009 as a conference one cannot afford to pass up,” said PJIAE President drs.
