From an air traffic point of view, it's ludicrous staging the airshow at the busiest unit in these parts. As though we don't already have enough problems that need taking care of. Let's just add another camel back-breaker!
We have so many other airports that could host the show but I guess it's a case of "it's not OUR airfield"
A few of you airline types ought to complain and explain how complex airline scheduling is at a hub and what chaos can result when you close a major airport for any length of time


We just ask the Air Traffic to shut up and obey.
If the Airshow is in DXB, it's for plenty of good reasons, which it's a pity if you don't understand them. So stay at your level of expertise... and don't try to get any other picture, just vector us on the ILS and give us a landing clearance, and that should be enough.
But ATC usually think they are the center of the Aerospace World, don't they ?
