Dubai International Airport (DIA) and DANS Capacity Studies

Cignus provided airspace design, evaluation, fast-time Modeling and Simulation expertise for MITRE CAASD on various projects for Dubai International Airport (DIA) and Dubai Air Navigation Services (DANS) from 2012 to 2015.

Studies included new ICAO final approach PBN procedures, alternative uses of closely-spaced parallel runways, ground movement strategies, and future Master Plan layouts. Airspace/procedure re-design within Dubai and Abu Dhabi TMAs was also evaluated including PBN RNAV/RNP procedures, different Arrival Manager stages, and technology impacts.
