, Mr. Omar Bin Ghaleb, Deputy Director General of GCAAGCAA inaugurated on 13th December, the second Middle East ATC Global Conference and Exhibition. The conference and exhibition was held in the Beach Rotana hotel, Abu Dhabi and attended by Dr. Daoud Al Najafi, Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, with participants from the region's ANSPs, CAAs, airport authorities and airlines such as CANSO, the Airports Authority of India, EUROCONTROL, NANSC, CAO Iran, DFS, IFATCA and Dubai Airports.Mr. Bin Ghaleb pointed out in the speech presented on behalf of H.E Sultan Al Mansoori that Sheikh Zayed Air Navigation Centre has been recently rewarded the prestigious Sheikh Khalifa Award as the country's best technical project.
He Added "In the field of research, we have completed the first year of automated navigation performance monitoring for an RNAV 1 route and obtained some 40,000 measurements. This constitutes the largest set of data held anywhere in the world and permits us to draw conclusions about actual navigation performance to the benefit of airspace development".
Regarding deriving significant benefits without jeopardising safety, Mr. Bin Ghaleb said: "We can open more routes and thereby increase capacity, shorten routes and save track miles; and reduce impact on the environment ".
"As our airlines expand their routes network, we also need to stretch out to the world and exchange views and know-how. The main channel for this is ICAO, where we were honoured by majority support in the UAE's recent re- election to ICAO Council. There are indeed several more avenues, like ACAC and IATA, where the UAE actively participates in the on-going work" He continued.
Mr. Omar Bin Ghaleb concluded "In the age of globalisation, those who fail to reach out will be left behind and - as the name indicates - we see ATC Global as a platform for global outreach that is consistent with our vision".
