CDG in Paris has 1,400 movements a day with 2 pairs of parallel runways. Dubai has 600 movements a day currently working with 1 runway. ie. Dubai has 600 daily movements per day per runway, while CDG has 350 daily movements per day per runway. I am not a Dubai Approach controller by the way. Hardly a doddle though, so why don't you all try showing some respect for a change.
ANSA

The 2001 data for CDG:

Peak day 1689 ops / peak hour 125 ops 3 rwys

North set of parallels = 1 x 4200 m + 1 x 2700 m
South set of parallels = 1 x 4200 m + 1 x 2700 m
They are both dependant (384m separated)

Guess the short rwys will be used for smaller acft

If you compare airports, I think you should compare similar layouts etc. Lets say DXB currently single rwy compare with London Gatwick!

My guess would be more calm ATCOs in LGW TWR than the "new" ATCOs in DXB
