Mr. Smith is an experienced airline and cargo expert with over 40 years experience in the industry. He is currently the Vice President of the Florida Foreign Trade Association, a position he has held for the past 4 years, participating in over 30 International Trade Missions and Conventions. As Vice President of FFTA, he has acted as a U.S. Delegate of ALACAT - Federacion de Associaciones de Agentes de Carga y Operadores Logisticos Internacionales de America Latina y del Caribe, which is the trade association for airline carriers servicing Latin America and the Caribbean. Prior to becoming Vice President of FFTA, Mr. Smith served as Manager Cargo USA for COPA, the Panamanian flagship airline, and was responsible for all COPA air cargo sales and service throughout the United States, and initiated COPA's cargo sales programs in Europe and Asia. Mr. Smith has also served as cargo manager in Miami for three other major international airlines since 1985. His detailed knowledge of the air cargo industry and his hands on experience in start-up cargo operations for major carriers has provided Mr. Smith with not only a unique perspective on the industry, but the knowledge base to assist and advise TGL management in the establishment of the company's cargo operations.

In discussing Mr. Smith's appointment to the Board of Directors, TGL President and CEO Mr. Gus Cervera stated: "Mr. Smith's unparalleled experience in the air cargo industry, specifically his background in managing the start-up of international air cargo sales and freighter operations for several major carriers brings to the TGL Board a knowledge of the industry that is second to none. His personal knowledge of and contacts within the aviation and air cargo communities in both Latin America and the Caribbean Basin will provide TGL with instant credibility, as we move forward with both our acquisition strategy and the start-up of our internal cargo operations. We anticipate that Mr. Smith's initial contributions to the company will be in two areas. First, in this time of increasing fuel costs, Mr. Smith's operational knowledge of the air cargo industry in the region, will enable TGL to establish those commercial alliances and join those key organizations that will enable us to share in advantages of bulk fuel buying and the hedging of future fuel costs. Second, Mr. Smith will be assisting management in the final negotiations for the acquisition of a number of companies that will complete our air, ground and maritime cargo division. We believe that Mr. Smith's experience, reputation, and professionalism will play a crucial role in the execution of the company's business plan and management's commitment to the shareholders to establish TGL as a leader in the transportation industry in Latin America and the Caribbean."

When reached to discuss his appointment, Mr. Smith said: "The opportunity presented to me by TGL management is one that I believe comes along once in a lifetime. I believe that my experience and professional and personal contacts in the industry and throughout the region will allow me to help TGL move forward with the company's plan to establish the premier inter-modal cargo organization in Latin America and the Caribbean. I look forward to working with the TGL management team in making our goals a reality."
