Quote: Had an MAS B747 divert to Salalah for the first time in my 15 years here and Seeb was full up with even some US military aircraft that probably shouldn't have been here. Lots of aircraft turning up at our border squeaking something about low fuel and the like with no co-ord whatsoever.

IF those aircraft arrived from the Western side of the border...especially the military guys...then it was coordinated! 3 times, by the Assistant, by the supervisor and by the UAE south controller...if it came from elsewhere, I can't comment

Puts on a Monty Python hat..."I dream about a second runway in DXB" I also dream about being able to give Dubai only 10 miles... can't see that happening in the near future
