Canoe and Guy,
I was asked to present some ideas on a CFMS some 5 years ago. A flow computer was set up in UAE centre, giving landing slots, based on ETA and updated on radar contact. This would allow the flow controller to assign times for aircraft to be at Bubin and Desdi based on RWY and weather conditions. All acft ex OMAA, OMSJ etc would call and be given a slot departure time. Very simple concept. It was demonstrated to the
Mafia in charge of your operation and flatly rejected.
As a result you still have the same mess today. I am no longer part of the UAE Circus. I just fire the bullets from the other side of the "Rabbit Proof Fence".
