The answer to this is applicable to Dubai in general, as well as to this thread:- Do it once and do it properly. Problem is it will never happen. The population is growing at a faster rate than the infrastructure can handle. This applies to roads in Dubai and traffic through Dubai Airport. There will be no control over the rate of growth as growth equals cash flow. There are only a handful of really rich families here and between them they control almost everything (certainly everything that matters) so a few delays are of no consequence to them. Dubai is a city of monopolies from Telecoms (shortly to become a duopoly but both owned by the Government) to car dealers (there is only one dealer per brand of car in Dubai, a city of 2.5 million; how many Holden dealers are there in Melbourne?) to airport handling agents; DNATA, 100% owned by Emirates. Couple DNATA's airport monopoly for handling and Dubai's (almost) open skies policy and constant airport works (as they can't get it right) and we have the situation we are now faced with.
What needs to happen is to modulate the traffic flow. Seemingly every few months there are additional minor operators into Dubai, e.g. Air Blue, Shaheen, Air Asia (with 'who knows what' kind of certification and standards) on top of extra Majors like Virgin and Aer Lingus recently.
We need to get the minors out the way of the rest of us at what are well known peak times. This could be achieved by assigning (selling) slots or even introducing accepted noise abatement procedures limiting access for un-hush kitted or Russian airplanes.
Dont hold your breath though.
