There may be a clue as to whether FlyDubai will be late or not. It also may be a clue to the long term projections from Emirates. If you read this little piece you will see why...
Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority has formally announced this week that it plans to postpone the construction of the 49 kilometre so called ‘Purple Line’ rail link between the current Dubai International Airport and the upcoming Al Maktoum International Airport until there is "adequate demand."
Such a delay would definitely mean that Emirates is ratcheting back its growth or it is intending to move all of its traffic to the new airport. Given that they just spent a squillion dollars on the new Terminal 3 and quite a while building it - i doubt they are going to be rushing into things.
So if you are hoping to connect between the 2 new airports when the new one opens... better hire a helicopter or sit in traffic for quite some while.
Still the new airport will be quite the marvel.
Cheers
