A “healthy, prosperous” airline industry is one of the biggest forces for achieving world peace, but faces obstacles including interference by governments in the sector, the UAE’s Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research said at an aviation conference in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.
“I declare that a healthy, prosperous world passenger airline industry is one of most potent forces in our quest for world peace,” HH Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, said in a speech at the IATA World Passenger Symposium in Abu Dhabi.
“Your airlines have become even more important in bringing people, language, ideas and values together,” he told representatives from airlines around world.
However, Sheikh Nahyan hit out at interference by governments in bilateral aviation agreements as a potential threat to this.
