Air travel is such an everyday experience these days that we are not surprised when we read about a politician having talks with the Japanese Prime Minister one day, attending a conference in Australia the following morning and having to be off at midday to sign a trade agreement in Bangkok. But frequent long-distance flying can be so tiring that the traveller begins to feel his brain is in one country, his digestion in another and his powers of concentration nowhere – in short, he hardly knows where he is. The fatigue we normally experience after a long journey is accentuated when we fly from east to west or vice versa because we cross time zones.
In “... attending a conference...”, the underlined word is closest in meaning to

Dolphins have become a popular attraction at zoos in recent years. They are more interesting than lions and tigers because they are livelier and perform tricks, like circus animals.

This is one reason for believing that they are very intelligent.

The following dialogue takes place between two native speakers of English in the lower airspace in the vicinity of a major airport. Two aircraft towards the airfield:
Pilot – Fox Charlie speaking. Who’s ahead ... us or Golf Yankee?
Controller – Well... you’re neck and neck.
Pilot – We can keep a high speed in the descent if you want us to.
Controller – I don’t know how the TMA are going to plan this. You can if you wish.
Pilot – You’re the boss.
Controller – Well they’ll be the boss when you get down there. I’m just sort of keeping you apart for the moment.
Pilot – Understood.

Native and Non-Native Speakers in the radiotelephony communication
The ICAO language proficiency requirements apply to native and non-native speakers alike. As English is the most commonly used language international aviation communications, many non-native speakers of English will require language training to improve their language proficiency. Nonetheless, the burden for improved communications should not be seen as falling solely non-native speakers. Native speakers of English, too, have a fundamentally important role to play in the international efforts to increase communication safety. Improving radiotelephony safety is no small matter, requiring concerted effort and widespread cooperation, and all pilots and controllers will benefit an improved understanding of how language functions, with a focus on strategies that aid comprehension and clarity. Additionally, an ethical obligation arises on the part of native speakers of English, in particular, to increase their linguistic awareness and to take special care in the delivery of messages.
Miscommunication can, and does, occur not only between non-native speakers but also between native speakers of the same language. Miscommunication between native speakers can occur as a result of a linguistic error or feature (ambiguity, homophony, etc.) or as a result of human carelessness (poor enunciation, too much data in a single transmission, or impatience ). Miscommunication can also occur between non-native speakers or between a native speaker and non-native speaker as a result of these issues, in addition to other sources of error specific to non-native English-use.
