London (ots/PRNewswire) -

Air traffic management professionals from across the globe will be
meeting in Beijing at the ATC Global exhibition and conference on
17-19 September 2014.

Running for its 24th year with full backing from China's Air
Navigation Service provider (ATMB) and China's Aviation Regulator
(CAAC), ATC Global will facilitate business partnerships and
knowledge sharing between colleagues from over 100 countries, at the
same time delivering an in-depth and varied educational programme
offering cross-industry perspectives and the opportunity for vigorous
discussion and debate.

Reflecting CAAC and ATMB's support of ATC Global 2014, Wang
Zhiqing, DDG CAAC and Wang Liya, DG ATMB will be opening the
three-day conference focused on spearheading growth on 17 September.

Later that day, Dr. Joe Tymczyszyn, Executive Director, U.S.-China
Aviation Cooperation Program (ACP), Ralph Riedle, Chairman,
Performance Review Commission and a senior representative from Airbus
will lead a session on ATM demand, capacity and efficiency across
global markets, using China as a case study.

On day two, the SESAR JU, ATMB and Thales will explore how
different regions from around the world are managing the transition
towards global system harmonisation, using guidance from ICAO's
Aviation System Block Upgrade (ASBU) framework.

International collaboration, critical for the development of ATM
is being discussed in a session later in the day. Pierre Bachelier,
Head of ATM Programme Engineering, Airbus will review the impact of
ATM developments in the cockpit.

On the final day of the conference, panellists from CAAC,
Eurocontrol, Airbus-Prosky and SESAR will review the integral role of
the airport in fulfilling key areas of the ASBU framework, in their
role as nodes on the ATM system. Speakers will outline where ATM
performance improvements have already been achieved at airports and
will consider other initiatives underway, their impact and future
plans.

The conference will also include thought-leadership sessions
considering the impact of new technologies and procedures, including
the introduction of remotely piloted aircraft in civil airspace, and
collaboration between civil and military airspace managers.

Conference speaker Mr Frank Brenner, Director General,
Eurocontrol, comments, "China is the fastest growing aviation market
in the world and as we strive to improve the performance of the air
traffic management network, we need to look beyond Europe in order to
develop connections with the global network. We therefore look
forward to ATC Global and the opportunities that it can offer."

A programme of free educational workshops that feature: Single
European Sky programmes; NextGen, Airport developments in China; ATM
performance benchmarking and Global Air Traffic Flow Management will
be running alongside the conference, in addition to an exhibitor-led
seminar programme on the exhibition floor. Both will be open to

topics including the introduction of centralised services; air
navigation charges services and; an informal review of aircraft
tracking and surveillance in context of the disappearance of MH370.
