bloodhound: In the last 5 months I've operated 10 flight into Juba (in a B738), and this month (Feb) will add another 3 to that total, and March will be yet more.
As far as I am aware, just a single ATC Controller has the task of running:
- Clearance Delivery
- Ground Control
- Tower Control
- Approach Control (which he has to do without the benefit of radar)
and Juba, as I'll trust you are aware, is - right now - a very busy little airport, what with a mixture of light, medium, and heavy aircraft off all types (including rotary & fixed-wing).
Now for those who might moan about Juba's ATC, I would like to see some of them spend a day in the ATC blokes shoes... and therein my hat goes off to that bloke in ATC for managing a ridiculously high workload !
But if you want to vent your spleen on the matter, direct it at the South Sudan CAA and therein ask them what they are doing with all the money that is, no doubt, being paid to them by way of overflight, approach, landing, handling fees ?!
