Regarding the centre’s preparations to activate the second phase of air traffic management over international waters, in charge of managing QCAA Mohamed Faleh Al Hajri said that the Qatar Air Traffic Control Centre is an integral part of the civil aviation system in Qatar and plays a pivotal and essential role in ensuring the safety and smooth flow of aircraft movement to and from Qatar.
He added that equipping the radar monitoring operations room in the centre building reflects the prominent role of the QCAA in the aviation industry in the State of Qatar and represents a new step in enhancing operational processes with all efficiency and accuracy. It also represents an important stage among the many stages through which QCAA aspires to achieve more accomplishments related to the field of civil aviation as well as keeping pace with all developments and changes and enhancing the position of the State of Qatar in this field at the global level.
QCAA has recently launched Long-Range (L-BAND) and Medium-Range (S-BAND) radars as part of the measures taken by the QCAA to achieve the main strategic objectives of the DFIR to enhance air traffic control in Qatari airspace and early detection of air traffic within the region.
