WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!! :eek: :D

Good news indeed BUT..As a pilot I have a more practical question&concern:
For how long our ACTUAL congested/saturated Doha airport&ATC will be able to cope with such an increase in traffic& destination without any MAJOR upgrade in order to achieve smooth & cost efficient and safe operation(fuel,ATC...)? :confused:

They are building a new Arrival Terminal and make the current Arrivalhall part of the Departure.

NEw Aircraft stands are there to cope with the increase in traffic.

DOH airport
 

I think the problem is that most of the flights depart at the same time and

arrive together plus the single frequency for DEP and APR 121.100 :bored:

and a single one for GRND and TWR 118.900 :=

QatarA340....more parking stand...new terminal..
Useless as long as we still have a single taxiway(oops sorry 2 now) a single runway and a single ATC controller(really a safety issue when the weather is bad overhead doha!),one SID,NO STARS,NO SLOT... on top of that fighters,helicopters and college aircrafts still using the same airport..Nothing Changed on the above subject for the last ..10 years...despite the HUGE increase of traffic here!

^^ well lets pray that they finsih the airport by 2011 so we can move to HKG... ooops i mean the new DOH! :8

2011...?
When i see all this new "temporary" terminals "mushrooming" around the apron here.. i'm afraid you are a little bit optimistic....:you better start your pray right now!:8

Hi.

Anybody heard any rumors about the UK routes, whether I not they will be using the 777 more on those routes. I seem to hear different things all the time??

Thanks!

^^ Kumbayaaaa Kumbayaaaaaa!

Well, I didnt realize there were two taxiways??? One on the Western side as usall, and did they make another one parallel to it on the other side near the airforce???????

Well as far as i known we have taxiway Z now east of the runway 34, to ease the Departure from the east apron.
