Anything is possible but given the size of the airport, if the arrival/departure gates aren't in the same terminal, I would be very uncomfortable with this. Actually, even if they were, I would be.

If both flights are on KLM it will be ok ,assuming the first lands on time . If the second flight is operated by Delta then you have to go for a special check before you can go to the gate,that could slow things a lot

Normally it will be possible, wouldn't hesistate to book it.
OP still has to go throught security to enter the terminal since his flight orignated at DXB.

On a similar topic, I'm travelling BRS to AMS on KLM with an onward, separately ticketed, departure to IAH with UA. Travelling with carry on only, what would be my expected gate to gate average time please. I am assuming that I need to reclear security but not passport control as I'm not entering the Schengen Zone.

Thank you both for the reply. I have a two and a half hour connection on a generally reliable flight, but also have the backup of same day change facility if need be on UA should something go wrong.
