2nd Annual Air Traffic Control Optimisation Summit

“The UAE air traffic movements recorded a 12.3% increase in April, reaching 54,000 air traffic movements, compared with 48,000 movements in May 2009, according to the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA)” - Emirates Business 24/7, 16 June 2010

“In Dubai, passenger numbers will grow from over 40 million today to 150 million by 2030. To accommodate that growth we are building what will one day be the biggest airport in the world - Dubai World Central-Al Maktoum International featuring five runways and capacity for 160 million passengers and 12 million tonnes of freight. Today's processes and technologies are desperately lacking. They simply won't work at that scale".
Paul Griffiths, CEO, Dubai Airports

The Middle East has one of the busiest, fastest growing and most complex airspaces and is also the fastest growing aviation market in the world with 39 airports currently under construction or renovation in the region (Business Intelligence Middle East, 21 April 2010). The tremendous increase in air traffic is causing a multitude of challenges for regional authorities, the air traffic controllers, the airports and the airlines.

This is why IQPC is proud to bring you our 2nd Annual Air Traffic Control Optimisation Summit, which will take place on 31 October – 3 November 2010 in Dubai, UAE.

The Summit will bring together key representatives from the civil aviation authorities, the airports, airlines, military and air navigation services to examine practical solutions to the rising challenges in safety, efficiency and capacity in the Middle East.
