Optimum Levels of ATC Performance

The Middle East is one of the most dynamic aviation markets in the world expanding from 5% of international traffic to 10% in the past seven years. But we are not immune to the global recession, says Majdi Sabri, regional vice president for IATA in the Middle East & North Africa. "Airlines in this region will lose $200 million in 2009 as traffic growth slows dramatically. In this environment every cent counts and both aviation and the environment can no longer afford a wasteful air traffic control system,” he stated. International Quality and Productivity Center (IQPC) will be addressing major challenges and issues at the Air Traffic Control (ATC) Optimization Summit Middle East 2009.The event will be held from October 4-7, 2009 at Sheraton Dubai Creek Hotel & Towers, Dubai.
