Dubai Air Navigation Services (DANS), Emirates and Thales signed a Collaborative Research Agreement to develop AI-driven tools that reduce holding patterns for arrivals at Dubai International by adjusting cruise speed and sequencing. The project aims to cut fuel burn, lower emissions and improve on-time performance in support of the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 goal.

Briefing
The programme targets holding patterns for all arrivals at Dubai International — success could materially lower fuel burn and emissions and improve on-time metrics for one of the world’s busiest hub airports.
The initiative aligns with a broader UAE and carrier push to embed AI and data systems into operations, building on efforts such as Emirates’ multi-source turbulence forecasting (IATA Turbulence Aware, Lido mPilot, SkyPath) and regional deployment of AI/biometrics in airport operations: https://hype.aero/?story=7d2e02ab-3ccb-4495-bdcb-10e56c8069ac and https://hype.aero/?story=0b03a6b2-7f39-48d4-baf9-8fe6f5e0d802.
