Angel Hello ATCOs

Filing an ATC Occurrence Report every time an airline is not complying with an instruction is impractical reality. If you have so many separation problems in UAE airspace, then you ought to get an outside assessment team to study the problem. It may be because of inadequate communications, inadequate training, understaffing, procedural problems, airspace infrastructure constraints or cumbersome traffic flow patterns.

More airports are being built and much more traffic is to come. It's time to sort out the separation logistics now before it gets out of hand.

Compared to traffic saturation management at airports like ATL, ORD, LAX, LHR... UAE is a small traffic problem. Some of your senior managers would be well to do in spending time at those high density centers and feel the pulse of saturation traffic management.

Nevertheless, I'm often in and out of AUH, DXB and SHJ and find all of you ATCOs doing a good job during peak traffic flows.
