This Aviation Day, organised in cooperation with Egypt Air,  will look at aviation challenges in the Middle East & North Africa region. 

Despite regional political instability, natural disasters, and high fuel prices that continue to be a major source of cost fluctuations, the aviation industry continues to grow and thrive.The regional passenger and cargo growth in 2012 averaged 15%, by far the highest growth anywhere in the world. As a burgeoning region, the Middle East is changing the way the aviation sector conducts business – and is revolutionising connectivity throughout the world.
