ACAC CNS/ATM Study Update & Strategic Planning Airbus ProSky
Supplemental Document: ATC Country Profiles
1 Introduction
The ACAC CNS/ATM Study Update is a collaboration between Arab Civil Aviation
Commission (ACAC) and the Airbus ProSky Team to assess the current Air Traffic Control/
Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance (ATM/CNS) status in the region, identify gaps in
capabilities based on International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards, and to make
recommendations addressing near-term and strategic ATM needs in the Middle East and North
Africa.
Focus areas of the study are to increase airspace capacity and routing flexibility, provide
increased access to airports, improve efficiency for both aviation system customers and air
navigation service providers ANSPs, and reduce environmental impacts while continuing to
promote safety.
The Airbus ProSky Team analysed reference reports and plans in combination with the
information learned from the stakeholder sessions, including diverse self-assessments of current
and projected capabilities, concerns, and needs.
This document contains all of the ACAC Air Traffic Control (ATC) Country Profiles used as
references for the study. The sections below constitute a database of information on each of the
ACAC Member States. Information from this database has been incorporated into the ATM
Study Report.
The information in the ATC Country Profiles is a compilation of physical information about each
country (size, location, political divisions, responsible organisations for air traffic control, etc.)
supplemented by the inventory of air traffic control units. The latter includes Flight Information
Regions (FIRs), Area Control Centres (ACCs), Approach Control facilities (APPs), towers
(TWRs), airports (APTs), training facilities, and radar sites. Where information is available for
installed ATC equipment at an ATC unit, this is included as well. All related open source data is
listed as Recent Events. Most of this data comes from news releases; however, some information
comes from ICAO meeting minutes, ICAO Reports, and company product literature.
