Landing flow rates reduce due to LVOs at DXB, which is no different from other airports. Given that there is no cross-border ATFM system in the Middle East, the lack of flow management into the holds only exacerbates the congestion.

Dust storms are commonplace in the UAE, which result in the visibility reducing to a few kilometers but it is very rare to see the visibility drop down to LVO levels though.
