These last couple of posts aren't specifically about the bad weather, it was just to point out the limitations we face in the UAE at the moment. Until the 13th of March for about 7 hours a day, a para dropping zone is active up to A120 right overhead MAXMO, and at the same time a restricted airspace is active alongside it A100 to FL450, for 4 of those hours, leaving UAE ACC and Dubai APP about a 6 NM gap to fire out the mass of European departures going through DARAX while also funnelling in and sequencing (??????) all the arrivals opposite direction. As DD said the holding pattern for this segment of airspace is wedged between the restricted area and the mountains. This is all contended with while also trying to sequence all the BUBIN stuff and get landers down into RAK and FUJ.
Bottom line its not pretty, but sorry it is thread creep from the bad weather topic.
