Dubai Air Show organiser focuses on new event for air traffic managers


F&E Aerospace, organisers of the Dubai Airshow and MEBA are to launch a new event - Gulf Air Traffic Management (GATM) which will be co-located with the second edition of the Gulf Aviation Training Event (GATE) on 19 – 20 September 2012, at the Al Bustan Rotana Hotel, Dubai.

F&E Aerospace has designed GATM to bring senior airspace policy experts together to address key issues and develop workable solutions that can then be implemented within the region.

"GATM will contribute to timely resolutions in different industry sectors by providing a platform to debate, discuss and define the key challenges whilst facilitating a unique networking opportunity for the air traffic managers, authorities, airlines and equipment suppliers to interact together socially, "Michele Van Akelijen, aerospace director at F&E Aerospace, said.

With the second edition of GATE taking place in September, it will be set to address the growing demand for people in aviation set at 36,600 new pilots and 53,000 new skilled maintenance personnel which will be required to staff the region’s airlines between now and 2030.

Van Akelijen said: “It is an exciting new venture for us, we have observed the current market and inevitably we are here to help meet the demand with events such as GATE and GATM. Expansion is a key element of F&E Aerospace’s strategy, reinforcing its position as a leading global aerospace event organiser.”
