We land 31 per hour in DXB less when you factor in wind and A380 mix! UAE ACC and DXB ATC use the AMAN system which gives a 'basic' order for all DXB arrivals, not just EK, again not factoring wind or vortex mix.
When I read a few years ago about Emirates getting RTA I wondered how it was going to work with regard non EK flights in the mix, does it take those into account??
The AMAN only starts working when ACC receive an estimate on inbound a/c hence only within 60-90min from DXB! It would be nice if the two systems talked to each other? I.E. EK flights have FMS estimate for DXB virtually from airborne?
