A little off topic, but still keep an eye out for more than aircraft wizzing down DWC runway.

Nice video.

It is good to see the site work has started on the 3 additional runways for DWC. With the new agreement with FlyDubai I can't see how them moving to DWC would add any value, I can see them and EK staying at DXB for the near future and everyone else going to DWC. Coincidentally (maybe not) the 20 million passenger volume projected for the new DWC terminal expansion is about the same number as current non-EK flights.

That's my thinking also. Are there any downsides to this for non-EK carriers?

Maybe a Hyperloop between DWC and DXB?

Ok this was a joke, but if you think about it, DXB is a world-leading city, unafraid of massive investments, with massive infrastructure construction capacity, wouldn't be too surprising to see them cutting through the red tape and getting this done quicker than LA or another US city

A little off topic, but still big news. EY posts huge 1.87 billion USD loss.

I am so disappointed with this. They losing a lot of money. That's not good news.

Goodbye to long queues lines! Adios! You don't have wait at passport control anymore. From now on, you can go through E-Gates. It's very easy for you.
