Warning sounded on gridlock in Arabian Gulf skies | The National

Warning sounded on gridlock in Arabian Gulf skies | The National:



"The global aviation industry chief yesterday warned that the Gulf airline boom could turn to gridlock unless more military airspace is given over to civilian use.



He made his comments at the Global Aviation Summit in Abu Dhabi as airlines bosses from around the world met in the capital.



“Between 40 per cent and 60 per cent of the airspace is reserved for the military,” said Tony Tyler, director general of the International Air Transport Association (Iata). “So we are trying to squeeze the fast-growing civil aviation component into a fraction of the airspace.”"
