http://atwonline.com/ FAA warns of ‘a million drones under people’s Christmas trees’ A top FAA official said as many as one million small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) could be sold during the upcoming US holiday season. “The talking point is that there will be a million dronesunder people‟s Christmas trees this year,” FAA assistant administrator-policy, international affairs and environment Rich Swayze said, adding that he has heard the one-million figure “from several sources.” Speaking at the Airlines for America (A4A) Commercial Aviation Industry Summit in Washington DC, Swayze said FAA is trying to get in front of the sales surge to inform the public about safety issues associated with small UAVs. “We‟re trying to get out and educate people about potential dangers,” he said. Swayze explained that FAA plans to send a representative to a preChristmas staff meeting at US retail giant Walmart to educate sales people selling small UAVs on how to inform consumers about operating UAVs safely. Walmart advertises 19 different “drones” online, ranging in price from $19.99 to $274.95. “A lot of people who don‟t have a pilot background are operating these things in the airspace,” Swayze said. Hawaiian Airlines president and CEO Mark Dunkerley, also speaking at the A4A conference, added, “From an operating perspective, [small UAVs are] a very serious issue and there‟s considerable concern that it‟s going to end in tears … It‟s not just in and around airports where drones present a danger to the traveling public. There are many areas outside of five miles of an airport where a drone conflict could occur.” US Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Oregon), the ranking member on the House of Representatives Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, said, “A lot of what pilots are seeing is irresponsible use of toys. The toys, in my opinion, should be set up so they can‟t be sold unless they‟re geo-fenced for altitude and perimeters.” Swayze said one of the difficult aspects of developing regulations for UAVs is that there are so many different interests that need to be addressed. “I‟ve been in DC for 15 years now working on policy and I‟ve never seen so many divergent interests driving one topic,” he explained. “One day it‟s safety concerns, the next day it‟s „we‟ve got to get these incorporated into the airspace as soon as possible,‟ the next day it‟s privacy concerns and then the next day it‟s security—are these things going to be armed? So it‟s really up and down.”

Thailand Takes Steps to Overhaul Aviation Sector As part of a broader overhaul to correct shortcomings in regulatory oversight, Thailand has decided to split its Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) into two separate agencies. Last week the Thai cabinet approved four proposed draft laws that will replace the DCA with two new authorities. Under the new arrangement, the Office of Civil Aviation will serve as a regulator while the other unit, the Airport Department, will operate DCA‟s 28 provincial airports. The move comes after the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) raised concerns in a January audit over the conflict in allowing the DCA to license airlines while operating airports. Plans call for the proposed legislation, drafted with the help of an ICAOappointed panel, to take effect in the “coming months.” Meanwhile, the deadline to address regulatory shortcomings identified by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is coming to a close. In July, the FAA conducted an audit and gave the DCA until mid-October to rectify weaknesses. With the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) open-skies agreement set for implementation by year-end, Thailand continues efforts to upgrade its airport infrastructure to tackle congestion and meet future growth. It has earmarked both Suvarnabhumi International Airport and Don Mueang, the capital‟s second air hub, for expansion. It also has begun executing a master plan to upgrade facilities at four regional airports and build an aircraft maintenance center at Chaing Rai International Airport. Apart from Thailand‟s struggles, regulatory shortcomings and infrastructure woes continue to plague much of Southeast Asia. Governments across the region have felt pressure to invest in hard infrastructure such as terminals, runways and air traffic control.

systems, and soft infrastructure such as qualified staff and institutions. In the Philippines, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has urged authorities to take immediate action to rectify safety and operational issues at both Ninoy Aquino International Airport and Clark International Airport. IATA also called on Indonesia to develop an aviation master plan based on global standards. In Myanmar, Yangon International Airport meets international standards and is undergoing an upgrade. However, all of Myanmarâ€&#x;s 25 domestic airports lack even the most basic infrastructure. Furthermore, authorities have suspended plans to develop and privatize many of the countryâ€&#x;s domestic airports. Meanwhile, Vietnam continues to search for private sector participation to develop its airport infrastructure. Given the proliferation of low-cost carriers (LCCs) in Southeast Asia, Air Asia Group chief executive Tony Fernades wants terminals exclusively dedicated to LCCs and is actively looking for joint venture partners to invest in airport developments across the region. Fernades has also spoken out about establishing a common regional regulator for civil aviation ahead of implementing the ASEAN Open Skies agreement.

Cario airspace closed for military excercise Cairo's international airport closed its airspace on Monday between 11:00 and 12:30 CLT (09:00 - 10:30 GMT) because of military exercises, airport sources told Al-Ahram Arabic news website. The sources said the operators at Cairo airport coordinated to schedule takeoffs and landings to avoid congestion in departure halls, while arranging for some flights to land at alternative airports while the airspace was closed. Military exercises are common in Egypt, and the airspace above Cairo has been closed on several occasions before. On Wednesday, Cairo's airspace was closed for the same reason. Airports nationwide are expecting the arrival of tens of thousands of Egyptian pilgrims, with the hajj season having ended on Saturday.
