Do you think that the Muscat flow situation will improve when you get some more controllers or now that it is in place is it here to stay? If it is here to stay it needs some improvement as at night we Tardi delays regularly exceed an hour.
It's probably worth pointing out that while many perceive delays are simply due to Muscat there is a wider picture. UAE can send traffic out 10-20 miles in trail but then Muscat have to deliver this traffic 10mins plus at same level into Mumbai's patch. When I worked Muscat there was provision for mach number technique however the Indians rarely accepted this even though it was included in LOA's....
And then of course there is the story of a B777 and Mach.83 11 minutes ahead of an A340 at Mach.82 which Mumbai refused to accept because "the one with the 4 engines will catch the one with the 2 engines". With logic like this Muscat is always going to wear the sh&t in the sandwich..
