The "runway restoration project" has not happened nor was going to happen. It is concocted news to disguise the fact that hard economic times have reduced load factors. Ramadan of course means even less pax. I've used DXB 12 times since the start of the so called RRP, and have seen no works, I have seen however a lot less pax arriving, departing, and transmitting than usual during quiet Ramadan. Any photos have been taken of equipment to support the so called news. In confidence those in the know working at DXB will confirm this.
It's widely discussed topic in Dubai.
At DWC there's a growing museum of parked EK frames.

Also, 4 people were killed in a plane crash that was testing out the new ILS... Was that all made up too? Maybe you should contact their families and tell them they are actually still alive.

You've previously asked this, and skywardhunter posted some photos he'd taken.

Yes I saw the pics from skywardhunter. Great that some pics were taken. However they show parked vehicles from what I can see.
Runway was closed yes, my point is that there was no real maintenance happening, it was just a ruse to substantiate less traffic.
As to aircraft crash, I don't doubt that, but that doesn't disprove my point. Airport employee aquaintences were the first to draw my attention to the runway works not happening,then based on my own observations I realized what the truth was.

But, if your airport employee mate says it's true...
