The International Air Transport Association (IATA) urged governments in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) to maximize the economic and social benefits of aviation.

"E lagolagoina e le vaalele le 2.4 miliona galuega ma le $ 130 piliona i gaioiga tau tamaoaiga i le itulagi MENA. E tusa lea ma le 3.3% o galuega uma ma le 4.4% o le GDP uma i le itulagi. I le isi 20 tausaga, matou te fa'amoemoe e fa'atupula'ia le aofa'i o pasese i le 4.3% i tausaga ta'itasi. I le avea ai ma taʻitaʻi o vaalele e tatau ona tatou galulue faʻatasi ma malo ina ia iloa lenei gafatia-ma le tamaoaiga ma agafesootai atinaʻe o le a faʻamalosia, "o le tala lea a Alexandre de Juniac, Faʻatonu Sili ma Pule Sili o le IATA, na saunoa i le Arab Air Carriers' Organization (AACO) AGM. i Cairo.

Na fa'ailoa e De Juniac le fa'aleleia atili o atina'e tau va'alele ma le fa'aleleia o le fa'atauva a'o galue agai i le fa'amaopoopoina o fa'atonuga i le itulagi e taua.

Atina'e lelei

O Sasaʻe Tutotonu ua faʻaalia le tofa mamao i le atinaʻeina o atinaʻe malae vaʻalele i le lalolagi. Na fa'ailoa e De Juniac se fa'aaliga o le fa'aeteetega i fuafuaga fa'atama'alele i malae va'alele i le itulagi.

“A'o manatu Saudi Arabia ma isi i le itulagi e tu'ua'ia le malaeva'alele, e manino ma faigofie la matou fe'au: talanoa i paaga uma-aemaise lava kamupani vaalele-ina ia mautinoa e te mauaina le manuia sili ona lelei tau tamaoaiga ma agafesootai. E leai se manaʻoga mo malo i le itulagi e toe fai mea sese na faia i isi vaega o le lalolagi. O faʻatalanoaga e le naʻo le ki, e tatau lava, ”o le tala lea a de Juniac.

Na faaalia foi e le IATA le popolega i le tuai o feoaiga i luga o le ea i le Fagaloa. Ole averesi ole tuai ile va'alele e mafua ile ATC ile itulagi ole 29 minute. A aunoa ma se alualu i luma faanatinati, e mafai ona faaluaina i le 2025 e sili atu i le $ 7 piliona i le leiloa o le gaosiga ma faaopoopo atu i le $ 9 piliona i tau o vaalele.

“O lo'o i ai se aofa'iga tele o feoaiga i se vaega fa'afanua fa'atapula'aina. Ma pau lava le fofo o le pulea o le eria atoa. E tatau i malo ona sui le vaega fa'apolokiki i faiga fa'ai'uga felagolagoma'i i tuaoi. E tatau ona tupu vave lenei mea pe o le aoga o nofoaga o le itulagi o le a matua afaina ai, ”o le tala lea a de Juniac.

Tauvaga

O le kamupani va'alele e fa'atauva'a. O le si'itia o tau i le MENA e tatau ona fa'atonutonu e fa'atumauina lona fa'atauva. "Talu mai le 2016 ua matou vaʻaia le $ 1.6 piliona faʻaopoopo i tau pisinisi i le MENA itulagi. O tala uma i totogi faaopoopo o se luʻitau lea mo kamupani vaalele a le itulagi e naʻo le $ 5.89 i le pasese. E le gata i lea, o se faʻalavelave mo pasese e aʻafia lautele i le tamaoaiga, ”o le tala lea a de Juniac.

Tulafono Fa'atonu

O tulaga fa'alelalolagi o le fa'avae lea o felauaiga i luga ole ea. O le aoga o nei mea o loʻo faʻaalia i faamaumauga saogalemu a le alamanuia. I le isi itu, o le faʻateleina o pulega puipuia o tagata faʻatau o loʻo i ai se aafiaga leaga i tagata faʻatau ma kamupani vaalele. Latou te tauivi ma le fenumiai, lavelave ma o nisi taimi e tauva ai pulega faatonutonu.

"E sili ona lelei le tautuaina o tagata faʻatau i puipuiga manino, faigofie ma fetaui lelei. I le 2015 setete na galulue faʻatasi e ausia lenei mea e ala i le ICAO lea na tuʻuina atu le taʻitaʻiga i le lalolagi atoa i lenei vaega autu. E taua tele le mulimulitaia e le ACAO Consumer Protection Guidelines for Arab States i lenei taʻiala a le ICAO,” o le tala lea a de Juniac.

Eseesega Tane

Supporting the projected growth of aviation will require an expanded labor force. De Juniac called upon governments to tap into the power of women to help alleviate a growing skills shortage in the region.

“We are facing a skills shortage. In the peak northern summer season Emirates had to trim frequencies because it did not have enough pilots. Finding a solution for that will require a comprehensive series of actions over a sustained period. And one of them—which goes beyond the pilot shortage—is to enable more women to find careers in aviation,” said de Juniac.
