FUEL EMERGENCY at Dubai airport

Guess what, yesterday 4 fuel emergencies were declared at almost the same time...Dubai was apparently asking 15 miles separation (nothing in the notams) for all the inbound metal tubes and aircrafts were stuck in every holdings around the airport.
Having said that, are you really going to take extra fuel or maybe prepare an ASR for every single flight going back to Dubai these days…
Don’t forget guys, ASR might be a solution to cover your ass (or not)... But never forget that you are responsible for hundreds of lives at the end of the day.

Fuel policy is only there for a legal aspect….
