Attention UAE GCAA

Somebody ought to take a second look at the decision regarding the identifier for the new Jebeli Airport (soon to be the world's largest: six parallel runways, etc). It's "JXB" and it lies just a few short miles from DXB (Dubai). If that doesn't get changed soon, I'll bet a pocketfull of Dhirhams that lost luggage, lost and incorrectly loaded PAX, and even mis-vectored A/C will be routine occurrences.

On the serious side, if not amended, it's bound to be an ingredient in a nasty recipe where the holes in the cheese line up one day . . .
