I want to go there.
Arrogant local
two hours ago I went to arrival to pick up my sister and so much traffic in the parking lot...I paid my parking fee in the machine but when I reached the barrier to come out in the parking lot my ticket has expired due to heavy traffic inside the parking lot...suddenly there's one local guy who's for sure working there yelled at me saying " go back go back " I asked the Indian man why do I have to pay again he simply say " what can I do?" I know he can't do anything because of that arrogant local man who's acting like the facilitator or supervisor of that parking but I believe the management of the airport terminal 1 would not tolerate that kind behaviour which will give negative impact in Dubai in terms of tourism.
Baggage collection nightmare
Terminal 1, baggage conveyor stops just after 2 minutes of operations. Information shared is that it will take some time as the maintenance crew is on the other end of the belt.. The ten other belts are not in use currently displaying inelligible information.
Sharjah airport
Ok
Flight arrival information
It is impossible to check the arrival of a flight on line which is scheduled to arrive before midnight e.g on the 7th November but which is delayed and actually arrives just after midnight i.e on the 8th December. Surely the software can and should be adapted to deal with this situation.
The new Abu Dhabi Airport
Abu Dhabi International Airport (AUH) is currently (October 2014) undergoing a huge transformation. If you fly into AUH right now you would be forgiven for thinking that you were in the middle of the biggest construction site in the world. At the moment, you would probably be right. But by the middle of 2017 you will be arriving at the most modern airport in the world. The whole airport is being rebuilt, including the new beautifully designed mid-field terminal, a new runway, and infrastructure associated with the movement of a vastly increased volume of aircraft and passengers.
And, while all this is happening, the airport is still operating without disruption. It is a credit to those who are managing the home of the best airline in the world - Etihad Airways.
maktoum international airport
Its in the middle off no wear .

re: Canadian Connection
Canadians were asked to leave Minhad last year due to disputes over RMIs Blackberry technology and air routes into Canada for Emirates Airline. The Aussies are still there and occasional US Navy resupply runs for ships docked a Jebel Ali.
DXB

re: I used to live on Qarnayn long before there was an Airpo
Should anyone be interested, there is an 1822 chart of this island (aswell as Dalma, Zirku, Sir AbuNu'ayr, Dayyinah, Shura'awa and Das) from the Guy and Brucks survey.

closest obstacle on apprch rw31
we use lido (lufthansa nav charts) o/b instd of jepps , so this mosque ( Sheikh Zayed) is NOT mentioned or drawn somehow in our app and facility charts . On a night apprch with good visibility to rw31 OMAD I was not expecting to see the minaret above the level of our wingtip (A321) to my left at a distance of approx 250meters which was not incld in our briefing naturally in this case .We were on the glidepath 0.80nm to the rw31 tdz which we were approx. 250agl or some higher maybe ,and the top of the minaret is declared as 350ft or so by wikipedia . So that 's why the MDA is declared as more than 500agl and vis of 2000m for CAT1 ils , I came to the point that even for good visibility needs more outside scan and localizer or other navigation accuracy has to be judged MORE carefully before and during the approach.
Take off weight for catC a/c is well regulated down to 70ies ( tons) for a a/c with normal max 89tons for rw13 and also for rw31 down to 80ies .
Now I am looking for the UAE aips , I hope that they are easily reachable thru the net. DO YOU HAVE ANY INFO OR EXPERIENCE ABOUT THIS ISSUE ?
Runway
The runway is near to E11 road,the longest road in U.A.E.
Runway
The runways here are in upgrading process
12R/30L
Runway 12R-30L is closed for construction so my flight MH 156 arrivong from Kuala Lumpur lands at 12L...we taxi for over 10 mins.
OMDB
It is a nice airport with a lot of traffic.
I used to live on Qarnayn long before there was an Airport
The only way to get there was by dhow from Das Island.
