The International Federation of Air Traffic Controllers Association (IFACTA) will host the 33rd regional event that brings together air traffic controllers from Africa and the Middle East from October 20 to October 22, 2022.
Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) said the gathering will review the achievements made, celebrate cutting-edge developments and discuss issues combated among others.
