Well let us address a few little hard facts here....

1. The local airline hubs from Dubai, it is expanding at an inconceivable rate;

2. Dubai promotes all for one, one for all! come and use our airfield ! with an open skies policy and cheap fuel the whole world is turning up.....especially the European charters in summer, name a country and I will name you an airline that comes here!

3. All the Gulf States.....and I mean all! have decided that it would be cool to have the best airlines in the region lets match every service that the other provides which has seen an unprecedented growth or the industry in this region which has not been absorbed by the infrastructure;

4. Not only have all the Sheikdoms and countries in the Middle East decided that having their own airlines is very prestigious and profitable but hey, lets make our airfields the hub of the world!

5. In the pieces of airspace that combined are adjacent to Iran, Pakistan, Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Yemen, India, Saudi, Syria and Kuwait how do you think conformal procedures and smooth co-ordination will be conducted when half of them are at war, have been at war or might be at war with each other!

Hot tip, big picture stuff, things are only going to get worse unless some serious dialog is entered into between the States (not the US by the way!) to resolve airspace, airway and procedure issues.
