The CAA held the sixth of its meteorology forums on 16 November 2022. This event brought all of the interested parties together online to look at the overall MET situation, issues, and local and international developments.
The formal objective of the MET Symposiums are to better support the dynamism of aviation in the region, through a regular industry meeting. During these meetings, the users, providers, and regulators come together to co-ordinate and collaborate efforts to ensure what is developed is optimal, responsive, and sustainable.
Presentations from all previous symposiums, are available below.
