Political will needed to decongest GCC skies | GulfNews.com:
"The future of aviation in the Gulf is potentially one of the most exciting anywhere. Yet despite the enormous expansion and investment, despite the gleaming new airports and record-breaking aircraft orders, the security of that future remains in the balance.
The region stands at the crossroads between being one of the world’s true aviation powerhouses or a land of missed opportunities. Which direction it takes hinges on it gaining mastery of the invisible infrastructure — the mastery of airspace. The simple truth is that any airport, no matter how many terminals or runways it has, will only ever be as efficient as the airspace that serves it.
Airspace in the Gulf is currently far from efficient. It is fragmented and hugely congested — a relic of quieter skies. If that situation remains unchanged, the industry will never be able to fulfil its full potential, leaving both airport and airline investors increasingly frustrated and shortchanged. Delays will begin to spiral, connectivity will disintegrate and the region’s ability to act as an aviation hub will be critically undermined."
