and teaching program conducted by
Texas A&M could further open the
doors on use of composite materials
in aircraft design.

begin this research. In Spetemher,
a dozen research assistants chosen
from the aircraft industry will join
the effort and will also pursue an
educational program in the field
which leads to a master of science
degree.

New Joint Fares
14 DAILY FLIGHTS
Take to the air on Rio, your first step to everywhere,
and save when you connect with other major air
lines to your final destination. How do Rio’s Joint
Fares work? When two air carriers are involved in
your flight, Rio’s joint fares provide you with a
single fare which covers your trip from origination
to destination. Rio’s joint fare will be lower than the
combination of each airlines’ separate fares for
their share of the trip. Your one stop at the Rio ticket
counter takes care of tickets, flight connections and
baggage all the way!
