Fujairah airport sets infrastructure goal

Doesn't look good for the Russian planes, some of them already scrapped and likely more to follow.
Antonov 12 already banned from UAE airspace and the Il-76 is the next candidate.

Times change unfortunately, however I remain curious to see the 'fight' between Dubai, Sharjah and Fujairah continues as they all try to get as many cargoflights as possible and all airfield make huge investments in developing, expanding and re-newing there fields (and DXB that got a entire new airfield). Secondly, all operators now flying Russian hardware are unlikely to all switch to 'Western' equipment to continue activities so that will also mean a drop/gap in operators available.
