LONDON, September 26, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
The ATC Global 2013 Air Traffic Management conference, focusing on real world perspectives driving real world change, has started to gather momentum as prominent speakers from the air transport industry add their names to a growing line up. ALTA Executive Director, Alex de Gunten is the latest to confirm his place as a speaker at the three day international conference taking place from 12-14 of March at the Amsterdam RAI.

All three will take part in the debate to improve regional interoperability, with the insight provided by these subject matter experts on the role of Latin America offering a unique potency to the agenda.

Interoperability will be a key theme throughout the three days and Alan Stealey, Divisional Senior Vice President Flight Operations for Emirates Airline will participate in a session looking at building bridges between regions, specifically Asia, Europe and North America and how next-generation programmes such as CARATS can help facilitate harmonization.
Michiel van Dorst, Deputy COO & Executive Vice President of Flight Operations for KLM will form part of the first panel discussion that will scrutinise the delivery of tangible progress with SESAR and NextGen. Meanwhile Alexis Brathwaite, President and Chief Executive Officer of IFACTA, will address the conference on the challenges faced by countries with less that 10 million air passengers a year, and John Vincent, Deputy Director for Strategic Safety for EASA will be joining ATC Global to shed light on the role the regulator plays in putting ASBUs into action.
Paula Milburn, ATC Global Director, said: 'It is wonderful to see the agenda for the ATC Global 2013 Conference in Amsterdam endorsed so enthusiastically and promptly by senior industry figures. We take great care in selecting the most relevant discussion on issues highlighted to us by our Advisory Board, made up of stakeholders from every region and every sector of the ATM business chain. The impartial setting of our conference allows speakers to interpret the agenda independently and in doing so contribute to a highly refreshing and exciting debate'.
Other recent speaker confirmations include Sylviane Lust, Director General for the International Air Carrier Association (IACA) and Maurizio Castelletti, Head of Unit Single Sky and Modernisation of Air Traffic Control, Directorate General for Mobility and Transport for the European Commission. Sylviane will discuss the scorecard for ANSP performance; this will include statistics on costs, capacity and industrial relations and Maurizio, fresh from the Aviation Crisis Management Workshop in Brussels in May this summer, will speak on ANS performance in Europe and provide the conference with a valuable perspective on RP1 and RP2.
