• Identifying challenges and opportunities
• Proposed MIDRAR initiatives
– Initiatives 1‐3 (airspace utilisation)
– Initiative 4 (FIR harmonisation)
– Initiative 5 (Management and implementation of MIDRAR initiatives)
• Next steps
Objectives
• Solve capacity challenges and improve efficiency in the Middle East airspace region’s ATM through a regional approach;
• Conduct gap analysis;
• Create a credible programme for remedial action;
• Manage implementation of programme; • Drive improvement of ATM through moving towards optimally designed airspace;
• Build consensus and buy‐in.

Bahrain ‘Hotspot’
Empty Quarter utilisation
Oman transition to Mumbai FIR
Increased access to Restricted Areas
FIR boundary interfaces
Access to North‐Eastern FIRs
Synchronisation with external influences/activities
Operationally focused ‐ need a regional approach ‐
specific enough to be resolved
Developing opportunities to meet the challenges
• Initially expected that specific opportunities would be developed to address individual challenges;
• Having identified and prioritised the challenges it was clear that most were inter‐related and that effort to address one would also have an impact on another;
• MIDRAR group agreed that opportunities should be combined and developed into 5 MIDRAR initiatives.

Sync with external influences/
activities

Initiative 1 ‐ Provide capacity South of the Qatar Peninsular
• Reduce congestion in the Muscat, Bahrain and UAE FIRs to the north of the Qatar peninsular (or the ‘Bahrain hotspot’)
• Relocate some of the routes to the south of the peninsular and into the north‐eastern part of the ‘empty quarter’;
• Opportunity to exploit new CNS infrastructure in ‘empty quarter’, improve use of current Hajj routes etc.
• Potential to deliver quick wins by implementing some previous proposals such as IATA REP, resectorising etc.
Initiative 2 ‐ Increased utilisation of the ‘Western Gulf’
• Builds on the ‘limited’ new route structure proposed in Initiative 1;
• Increased use of the ‘empty quarter’ to begin optimising some NW‐
SE routes potentially utilising airspace in the Muscat, Bahrain, UAE, Jeddah and even up to the Amman and Cairo FIRs if necessary;
• Will seek to improve efficiency of Muscat and Mumbai FIRs boundary;
• Several options possible ‐ introduction of additional/improved route structure, across more of the Arabian Peninsula and the adjacent Mediterranean coast and/or efficiency gains for East‐West traffic in North Africa (Libya, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco) and areas of the African continent;
• Potential quick wins by exploiting and expanding initiatives such as iFlex.
Initiative 3 ‐ Increase access to North‐Eastern FIRs
• Aims to open up and make use of airspace in the north‐east of the Middle East region (Tehran, Baghdad and Damascus FIRs) to further increase capacity and provide more optimum routings;
• Approach is broadly similar and further builds on the first two initiatives but requires political support and will take longer to achieve;
• Can be developed in parallel and consider input from other initiatives.
Generic Initiative Structure
WP
Title
Description
WP1.1
Initial activities
WP1.1.1: Review current situation and assess need for change;
WP1.1.2: Re‐assess suitability of already existing previous and or current activities;
WP1.1.3: Conduct a feasibility and options study to determine potential approach. Determine capacity and demand for the airspace, in particular during peak periods and identify potential options. Identify key enablers including existing projects (such as the KSA surveillance project) and, if appropriate, new requirements;
WP1.1.4: Develop a business case based on the most likely option, buy‐in from stakeholders and seek funding;
WP1.1.5: Establish project.
WP1.2.1: Review and implement elements of IATA REP;
WP1.2
Implement existing proposals WP1.1.2: Review and implement route profile developed for Hajj operations in Bahrain, Muscat and Jeddah FIRs throughout the year.
WP1.3
Implementation of a ‘limited’ new route structure to accommodate peak demand
WP1.3.1: Develop and implement a ‘limited’ new route structure to the south of the Qatar Peninsular to accommodate traffic during peak demand. The implementation of routes can be incremental and should initially consider developing and seeking to implement additional RNAV routes through the Shaheen restricted area making use of airspace management arrangements for existing routes.
Your observations, comments and additional input on Initiatives 1‐3.… (please!)
Initiative 4 ‐ FIR harmonisation
• An overarching initiative ‐ coordination and, where possible, prioritisation of local or bi‐lateral projects to seek maximum benefit for the region (the sum of the whole is greater than that of the individual projects);
• Coordination between other CANSO working groups and regional organisations such as ICAO, IATA, ACAC or ACI;
• Support will lead to the implementation of best practice including data sharing (OLDI, Radar, AIDC etc.), operational concepts, common use of equipment etc;
• Help assess the impact of external activities (such as ASBU?) and assess the impact of internal environment changes such as airport expansion projects and airline growth.
Your observations, comments and additional input on Initiative 4.…
Initiative 5 ‐ Management and implementation
• How can the region ensure that the MIDRAR initiatives are successfully implemented?
• Must be broader than just a CANSO/ANSP initiative – it needs ‘buy‐in’ from States, ICAO, airlines, airports etc.
• Potential to develop a “regional implementation team” to coordinate the delivery of all regional projects – the MIDRAR initiatives could be the first….

sanctions, lack of investment etc.
 Post-conflict state of infrastructure
2011

Introduction of RVSM, 40 MIT to
20 MIT
 Focus on US Military withdrawal
 Beginning of move to ICAO
procedures
 Airspace changes, including
UP975
2012
 Focus on normalisation


Every area of operation, equipment,
training and support requires
attention
Huge demand for increased
capacity
 Danger of running before Iraq can
walk – safety implications
Challenges
 Patience to rebuild an entire ANSP
 Institutional and structural
arrangements not robust
 Knowledge and experience within ICAA
need time to meet international
standards
 Airspace requires restructuring – not an
Iraq-only issue
Southbound Flow
Northbound Flow
Challenges (cont’d)
 FIR interface – regular regional face-to-
face required to build confidence and
move issues along
 CNS issues will take time to implement
 Need operational workarounds in meantime
 2012 INFPL - Contingency arrangements
required
Challenges (cont’d)
 RVSM Implementation
 No change in north and southbound
flows
 Compliance issues with some aircraft
 In the absence of a formal ATFMU in
the Middle East, 40MIT mitigates the
flow
The Future
 Iraq recognises it has deficiencies
 Political understanding /
investment
 Fit for purpose organisation
 Open communication
The Future
 Regional flow management
 Regional trust
 Much work to do!

Bahrain AIM Road Map Development Steps
1. In parallel to staff briefing and training, a culture of change from
AIS to AIM has been created among all the staff and this is a
continues process
2. All Staff were appraised with ICAO Standards indicating the
approach of competency without licensing
3. The AIM concept was introduced the management indicating the
need to consider the AIM at the same level of the ATM during the
process of the re-structuring.
4. First draft of Bahrain AIM Road Map developed on 1st October
2009 and provided to the ICAO Regional Office. The target date
for the completion of AIM is December 2012.(AIM Audit)
Roadmap Timeline
•
BCAA implementation of the transition to AIM. In this part, supported by ICAO transition to AIM and the Global Air
Traffic Management Operational Concept initiatives related to the management of aeronautical information.
•
December 2008 Phase 1 — Consolidation, has begun with the establishment of the AIS-AIM Study Group. The consultation
process for Amendment 36 to Annex 15 and Amendment 56 of Annex 4 are initiated in the first quarter of 2009. The
development of Amendment 2 to the AIS Manual (Doc 8126) and Amendment 30 to the PANS-ABC (Doc 8400) has begun to
introduce guidance on best practices already available.
•
November 2009 Phase 2 – Going digital will begin by the development of new guidance material related (electronic AIP,
aeronautical information conceptual model, training, quality) that will be developed with the support of the AIS-AIMSG .
•
November 2010 Amendment 36 of Annex 15 and Amendment 56 of Annex 4 would become applicable. The preparation of
Amendment 37 to Annex 15 and Amendment 57 to Annex 4 plus any consequential amendments required in other annexes
will have progresses with the help of the AIS-AIMSG.
•
October 2011 Phase 3 — Information management, will begin with the fourth meeting of the AIS-AIMSG which will finalise
the proposals for amendment 37 to Annex 15 and amendment 57 of Annex4.
•
The consultation process of Amendment 37 to Annex 15 and Amendment 57 to Annex 4 will be initiated in the first quarter
of 2012.
•
November 2013 Amendment 37 to Annex 15 and Amendment 57 to Annex 4 would become applicable, Possible divisionaltype meeting should a substantial number of subjects of worldwide scope involving meteorological, aeronautical information
and supporting communication network fields need to be agreed in order to finalize the transition to AIM. This could
include a substantial enlargement of the scope of aeronautical information required by ATM and an obligation to provide
the information in the form of digital data.
•
November 2016 Amendment 38 to Annex 15 and Amendment 58 to Annex 4 would become applicable including the
recommendations of the divisional meeting.
