International Federation of Air Traffic Controllers' Associations
 
   
 
 

I was elected as Executive Vice-President for the Africa and Middle East Region of IFATCA at the Annual Conference in Istanbul in April 2007.

I am responsible for liaison with the Member Associations within this vast region with very diverse levels of sophistication in their ATM systems, for fostering contacts with non-member Associations and generally for overseeing the Federation’s activities in the region. 

I obtained my first Air Traffic Controller Rating (Aerodrome Control) in 1978. Since then, I have worked as an operational Approach Procedural, Area Procedural and Approach Radar Controller, for most of the time at Julius Nyerere International Airport (formerly Dar es Salaam International Airport).
I have also been an ATC instructor at the Tanzanian Civil Aviation Training Centre in Dar es Salaam and trained as a Search and Rescue Mission Coordinator. 

Between 1988 and 2000 I held leadership positions in the Tanzania Air Traffic Controllers’ Association as Executive Committee member, Secretary and finally President. 

My first attendance at an IFATCA Conference was in Nairobi in 1987. This was followed by 9 others, including Istanbul. I also participated in 8 regional meetings, the latest being the Johannesburg meeting in November 2006. 

Before my election to this role, I served on the IFATCA Africa and Middle East Regional Support Group under 3 different EVPs from 1991.
