With the Recession, these guys deny, it was expectable to have traffic problems because of the growth in last 5 years. Very little was done in increasing airborne capacities, mainly in the terminal areas of BAH, DOH, AUH and DXB, going left to right. Obviously the main problem here is AUH and DXB.
This slowdown will give another window of opportunity for the authorities of these airport and contries' airspaces to take steps to mend the problem. I hate to say that not much is going to be done.
Wait until JXB is ready with the 2 runways and barely 37NM away from either AUH or DXB ...
and the real problems will occur.
