DXB Single Runway
And so that time is about to be upon us........
It's going to be a busy time for the next few weeks, with far fewer 'quiet' spells at DXB as the busier spells get bunched closer together due to the runway closures.
From an ATC point of view, we've been preparing for this for months but that doesn't necessarily mean that everything will flow perfectly and smoothly 100% of the times, and I'm sure there'll be a few teething issues in the first couple of days as everything settles down.
Hopefully we'll all be working together to try and make sure things go as well as possible.
Enjoy

Good luck to you all in the tower and the atc bunker as well.
Will be chatting to you (or your colleagues) over the next couple of days so promise I'll be ready immediate and all that other good stuff!

Departed 45 min late from outstation yesterday, yet landed in Dubai 20 min early. Were asked to proceed to RASKI to hold, but halfway to DARAX we were told that the hold is cancelled and to maintain high speed. This was all around 1pm.

1 a.m. arrival, initially told to expect ten minutes delay and holding at Bubin, as we just commence the outbound turn, hold is cancelled and we are given headings to fly, then back to Bubin for the arrival. At Vuton left turn for right base. Touch down 20 minutes ahead of sched. Really impressed and pleasantly surprised by how efficient and expeditious the ATC was. Expected some crazy holding at that time of the morning.
