Ar traffic - In some developing countries, tourism can management is important to ensure flying safely account for over 25% of GDP. and efficiently. - 1.2 Trillion receipts generated by international tourism Air Traffic Control (ATC) - 235 million jobs - Air Traffic Control is responsible for directing aircraft on the ground and through controlled Aviation contributes to tourism airspace. ATC Services includes Ground - 762 Billion contribution to global GDP of air Control, Tower Control, Approach and transport related to tourism. Departure Control, and En Route Control. - 34.5 million jobs in tourism supported by air transport.

This involves - 2.9 billion passengers Slot Allocation and Flow Control. - 52 million ton. of freight - 1,000 airlines - 25,000 aircraft in service When and how did the concept of freedom of the air - More than 4,000 airports developed? - 36 million airline routes - 170 air navigation centers The Chicago Convention of 1944 established the - 1.5% Cargo Volume = 34.6% in value International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to regulate international air travel. This convention gave countries the right to control the air above their land and … and in 2030, 6 billion passengers. allowed them to fly planes across, into, and within other countries. However, only the first two freedoms apply to all countries. Air transport is often perceived as slowing development of travel and tourism NINE FREEDOMS OF THE AIR - Higher taxes and charges - Lack of air connectivity 1. First Freedom - Facilitation and border control - Right to overfly a foreign country without landing. How to improve and balance benefits of air transport and 2. Second Freedom tourism policies? - Right to refuel or carry out maintenance in a foreign country. There should be recognized synergies between air transport and tourism development. 3. Third Freedom - Right to fly form one’s own country to another. ICAO AND UNWTO to cooperate on matters of mutual interest: 4. Fourth Freedom - Right to fly from a foreign country to - Facilitation (Visa & Border Control) one’s own. - Consumer Protection - Connectivity 5. Fifth Freedom - Aviation and tourism sustainability - Right to fly between two foreign countries during flights which begin or end in one’s own. ICAO/UNWTO: Avoid duplication in efforts and create a greater synergy in both organizations. 6. Sixth Freedom - Synergy - the increased effectiveness that results - Right to fly between two foreign when two or more people or businesses work countries while not stopping to one’s together. own country.  7. Seventh Freedom - Right to fly between tw foreign countries while not returning to one’s own country 8. Eight Freedom - Right to fly between two or more airports in a foreign country while continuing service to one’s country. 9. Ninth Freedom - Right to fly inside a foreign country without continuing service to one’s own country. Why Aircrafts Dispatchers should understand the Freedoms of the Air - According to Sheffield School of Aeronautics, Aircraft Dispatchers nee to know about the nine freedoms of the air. These rules help countries decide who can fly planes in their airspace. Understanding these rules helps dispatchers plan flights, talk to other countries, follow laws and stay safe. (Sheffield School of Aeronautics n.d) Planning routes: Dispatchers can plan efficient routes that comply with international regulations. Negotiating with foreign governments: Dispatchers can negotiate traffic rights and landing slots with foreign governments. Ensuring compliance with foreign laws: Dispatchers can ensure that their flights adhere to foreign laws and regulations. Assessing any potential risks: Dispatchers can assess potential risks associated with operating in certain regions. Why are the 9 freedoms important? - According to Lomas (2023), the 9 freedoms of air makes air travel possible. The freedom allows airlines to run effectively and provide a variety of routes for travelers. They are protected in both multilateral and bilateral air transportation agreements.
