Recently, Issue 58 of "Arab Aviation" magazine was released, published quarterly by the Arab Civil Aviation Organization. This issue presents readers with a range of timely topics, dedicating significant space to the major developments in the civil aviation sector during the first quarter of 2025.

In the editorial, Engineer Abdennebi Manar discusses the remarkable growth of the aviation sector in 2024, with passenger traffic increasing by 10.4% and air cargo demand rising by 1.3%, largely driven by the Asia-Pacific region.

He also highlights the dynamism of the Asia-Pacific market, characterized by intense competition and strategic adaptations, particularly in China and India. Airlines like Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific are adopting dual-brand strategies to remain competitive.

The issue covers challenges such as strained supply chains and labor shortages hindering air transport activities, as well as how digitization and automation are helping to overcome these challenges. Technologies like Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and generative AI have emerged as transformative forces for passenger experiences.

Sustainability remains a priority, with a focus on Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to reduce emissions.

This issue of the magazine also provides in-depth articles and reports on the aforementioned topics, as well as the training program schedule for 2025.
