MID ATM ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM
(MAEP)
MANAGEMENT PROPOSAL
Presented by
United Arab Emirates
CURRENT SITUATION: GLOBAL
• The Air Transport Action Group released a study conducted by Oxford
Economics showing that aviation supports 56.6 million jobs around the
globe, including 8.4 million direct jobs and $2.2 trillion of economic
activity, representing 3.5% of global GDP. If aviation were a country, it
would rank 19th in terms of GDP.
• In terms of actual numbers, Oxford’s study reveals that within the region,
air transport supports 2.7 million jobs, and $129 billion in GDP.
Furthermore, aviation’s role in the region is set to grow rapidly over the
next two decades as international passenger numbers rise from 77.1
million in 2010 to 220.4 million in 2030.

CURRENT SITUATION: MID Region
• Information contained in ICAO DOC 9956 (Global and Regional 20-year
forecasts) suggest that an annual increase in traffic of 5.2% is expected in
the Middle East over the next 20 years.
• As an example:
The total number of flights within the UAE FIR will increase from 740,585
flights in year 2012 to approximately 1,589,000 flights in year 2030 based
on the UAE Studies. The current airspace structure will be unable to
handle the sustained forecasted traffic growth within the UAE

MID Region Growth Factors
 Strategic Location of the MID region
 Birth of new regional airlines
 Expansion of existing airlines operations
 Construction of new airports
 Expansion of existing airports
 Regional and Global Connectivity
CURRENT MID AIRSPACE
The MID Region airspace is still characterized by:
 Fragmented airspace structures;
 High-levels of tactical intervention by ATC;
 Choke Points; traffic bunching; and queuing; and
 Reliance on conventional technologies.
EXISTING INITIATIVES - FRAGMENTED
 ICAO ARN/TF (under the auspices of MIDANPIRG);
 CANSO MIDRAR;
 IATA – in response to individual airline proposals; and
 Isolated initiatives by states or organizations
(e.g. UAE Airspace Study)
There is a strong need for a collaborative approach to unify
efforts and harmonize seamless ATM Operations in the region
MAEP PROPOSAL
MAEP is an ATM enhancement program that would
provide the basis for a collaborative planning and
implementation strategy that takes into account
current and forecasted traffic levels for major airports
and major traffic flows in the region.
As well as designating regional priorities and
mechanisms so that ATM planning and implementation
efforts by individual States can be harmonized and
coordinated in a timely manner at the regional level.
MAEP PROPOSAL
1. Establishment of the MAEP Board (MAEP-B):
 Consists of decision making representatives of each
State
 Tasked with overall strategic and organizational
guidance
 Reports directly to MIDANPIRG
MAEP PROPOSAL
2. Establishment of the MAEP Steering Group (MAEP-SG):
 Consisting of technical expert representatives of :
 State ATM;
 State Regulator;
 IATA;
 ICAO;
 Any other expert as assigned by the MAEP-B
 Tasked with overall technical guidance
 Reports to MAEP-B
MAEP PROPOSAL
3. Establishment of the MAEP Project Management Office
(MAEP-PMO):
 Consisting of project management and technical experts
from state(s)
 Tasked with overall project management and facilitation
 Reports into MAEP-SG
