A glimpse inside Dubai’s futuristic new airport, set to be the biggest on Earth
By Paul Homewood
Does this sound as if anyone else in the world gives a toss about aviation emissions?
Within ten years Dubai’s main airport will move to a new desert mega-hub, projected to be the busiest on the planet.
Located 28 miles south-west of Dubai, Al Maktoum International Airport will have the largest capacity of any on Earth, with the potential to carry up to 260 million passengers per year.
It will replace the existing Dubai International Airport, already the busiest in the world for international traffic, handling 87 million passengers in 2023. Only Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport is busier, with 105 million mostly domestic passengers in 2023.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
There’s two ways of looking at this from the point of view of fanatics:
1. UAE does NOT give a toss about the alleged GHG contributions from the aviation industry to global warming.
2. The UAE is plotting to become the world’s hub of geoengineering/chemtrail operations carried out by commercial airlines in collusion with the megalomaniac globalists.
No net zero in Dubai then
Ahuh, just another way to mix the sheeple with viruses, all going nowhere fast: Why? Just for a fancy meal etc as per recent hearsay about Meal ticket touts …. … an d all the other “Pleasure” of the rich foolish masses … Avoch .. - I think I’ll just go there for the Sunday afternoon at the beach or a spot of fishing when the Herring come back.
Maybe in this one they will put in a bit more seating as the current airport has hit on a wheeze that not even a certain airline had thought of- only put seating in resturants and bars and ensure they are only used by paying guests, and by paying, do I mean paying.
Hmmmmm, I wonder how the public enquiry will go – open Monday morning for objections, close Monday afternoon, passed, approved, and then built ahead of schedule and under budget……………..darn, if only it could happen in the UK.
If you think we are bad, spare a thought for the “Teutonic Efficiency” of our German cousins. It only took them 30 years, umpteen missed opening dates and a zillion times over budget to build a flagship airport!

Read that the demands for new aircraft exceeds supply.
is that due in part to the current problems at Boeing?
Bio kerosene? Not hydrogen certainly.

Not suggesting it’s a good idea, just a possibility.
Now do the Maldives’ ones!

This is pretty ironic, then:

A gigantic new 5 runway airport for Dubai is just fine and dandy while the UK refuses to allow a single new runway expansion for London Heathrow? Hmm, it’s almost as if our entire Net Zero policy is gaslighting rollox of the highest order.
I suspect that Dubai has an open space to work with as opposed to a densely populated area that would be subjected to a massive increase in aircraft noise which if it is just for hub use is of dubious benefit.
Ay de mi, except airport visits last time I was in Dubai they were building graceful sailing dhows on the beach. Oh, and slaving but we didn’t talk about that.
We all need to eat a lot more chips, so there is enough “waste cooking oil” to power all those jets.
Aviation emissions account for 2- 2.5% of total emissions across the planet. As usual, the usual elephants in the room are ignored , when there is such an easy target as air travel. Why not stop sea transport which is 10X as polluting, or industrial pollution, just as bad. ? Or simply ignore all
But then again, flying a family to Florida and back emits more CO2 than their gas boiler does in a whole year.
Which is actually necessary ?
