Sorry, guys, I must have hit the wrong button and deleted my original post. Basically, I was asking why we haven't introduced slot times for Dubai as traffic levels are approaching crazy at certain times of the day. I indicated that the other night, we had about 80 aircraft on our screens, either live traffic or traffic that had just left Oman's airspace or was about to enter.
It seems logical that we should try and space the aircraft more evenly through the day, even though that does violence to the concept of hubbing. However, it's only going to take a few bad WX days or a major incident that closes the airport for several hours, with all the alternate airfields unable to take the overflow, to see the house of cards come tumbling down.
How can we collectively start the ball rolling?
