CANSO Africa Conference 201513 June 2015, Durban, South Africa


Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to the third CANSO Africa Region Conference. The Conference theme ‘Moving towards Sustainable and Safe ATM in Africa’ reflects the challenges facing the air traffic management (ATM) community in Africa.

This is an exciting and challenging time for aviation in Africa. Air traffic is growing strongly as aviation fulfils its vital role in providing fast, safe and efficient connectivity across this vast continent and contributes to significant economic and social benefits, Air traffic management is a critical element of this connectivity but brings with it some very real safety, capacity, operational, technical, infrastructure and financial challenges. It has also experienced a failure to implement decisions such as the Yamoussoukro Declaration, which would have promoted sustainability of the industry through improved and seamless airspace, greater efficiencies and reduced costs. It is in that context that CANSO is steadily growing its presence and influence in the region and why this third CANSO Africa Region Conference is both timely and important.

The Conference will address these challenges with support from important speakers from across the region and globally. We will discuss ICAO’s approach to its sustainable development agenda, highlight aviation’s contribution to economic growth in Africa; examine ways to build sustainable aviation infrastructure; and address future capacity demands in a sustainable manner. We will also discuss the impact of air transport liberalisation; as well as safety and security in the light of recent tragedies.

The Conference will also review progress on the Vision 2020 deliverables of the CANSO Africa Region. Through its Vision 2020 programme, CANSO has been instrumental in promoting and implementing key ATM issues with ANSPs, regulators, governments and industry partners in Africa. These include leading the implementation of the ICAO Aviation System Block Upgrades (ASBUs) through seminars and trainings; and working with industry partners to implement ADS-B and performance-based navigation (PBN). CANSO has been active in improving safety performance, including the implementation of safety management systems and safety culture in the region; and the roll-out of the CANSO Runway Safety Initiative to mitigate the impact of unstable approaches.

We are delighted that Air Traffic and Navigation Services (ATNS) has agreed to host this important event for the ATM industry. I thank Captain Mpho Mamashela, Chairman of the Board of ATNS, and also our various sponsors for their generous and invaluable support, particularly our lead sponsor, Aireon.

We hope you enjoy the Conference discussions and make full use of the numerous social and networking opportunities during your stay in Durban. If you require anything during your stay, please contact the CANSO Events team ([email protected], +31 6 2972 1678).

Finally, please join me in thanking the staff of ATNS and CANSO who have worked tirelessly to make this a successful, valuable and enjoyable Conference.

Yours sincerely,

Jeff Poole Director General CANSO

Setting the Scene

ICAO has a strategic role in facilitating coordination and co-operation among its Member States, the aviation industryand other stakeholders on various issues as they relate to international civil aviation. ICAO is ready to lead the sector through the sustainable development agenda and to ensure we guarantee the access to air transport for generations to come. This session will allow ICAO to clearly describe its agenda, while IATA, ACI, and CANSO will each explain how they intend to proceed in response to the ICAO agenda.

Views and recommended practices on a sustainable and safe ATM environment in Africa • Prosper Zo’o Minto’o, Deputy Regional Director, ESAF, ICAO• Chris Zweigenthal, CEO, Airlines Association of South Africa• Sidy Gueye, Assistant Director, Safety and Flight Operations, IATA, Africa• Gaborekwe Khambule, Senior Manager: Aviation, South African Weather Services

African Views: Status and Challenges on Sustainable ATM in Africa

ICAO is accelerating developments and steadily progressing in a number of initiatives which have the potential to benefit international aviation’s contribution to sustainability. It is focusing on four key areas:State action plans/assistance to States; sustainable alternative fuels for aviation; market-based measures; and global aspirational goals. Individual ANSPs will explain how they are ensuring sustainability in their organisations, what are their challenges and how are they planning to overcome them.

12:00 - 12:45

Impact of Liberalisation of Air Transport and Air Services Agreements on Sustainability

A mature understanding of national sovereignty, aligned with the political, economic and social realities of the present and future global environment will significantly improve the performance (safety, operational efficiency, cost-effectiveness and environment) of the ANS system worldwide. The cooperation between the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) and the European Commission’s Directorate General for Competition (DG COMP) serves as a good example of the benefits that can be achieved quickly and cost-effectively through regulatory cooperation. What is the impact of liberalisation on the sustainability of the ATM industry in Africa?
