Err....how about talking to those of us who FLY THE AEROPLANES?
We get some delays outbound due to the airways, but by far the biggest problem is inbound- We get happily through all the airspace with no problem, to then have to hold for prolonged periods due to the number of aircraft landing at Dubai.
I wasn't talking about now. I was talking about going forward; once two or more runways at OMDW are operational the congestion in Dubai should no longer be the problem, but trying to fit 270+ EK planes, 250+ EY Planes and who knows how many GF and QR planes through the feeder airways will be the problem.
Throw in some unrest in Iran, Saudi or Bahrain and the whole thing falls apart much sooner.
