First: Sand has no real effect on aircraft or engines except for removing a little paint and polishing the fan blades.

Second: Yes airlines in the Gulf continue normal operations as much as possible and use Cat 11/111 where available. unfortunately all runways and Companies are not approved for Cat 11/111 ops'

Have a nice day
