Excellent news.

I agree. I just feel it's a bit chicken and egg. Higher loads = second flight. Second flight improves loads through connection opportunities. Just need EK to take the plunge. This is definitely true, but there seems to be arguments they're short of aircraft or crews? If they're not going to expand ...

DXB is a bit lower than I'd like to be honest. In what sense? It's really up to EK to judge the route's performance and LF alone is not a good indicator. I know that LF alone can't be the only factor. I'd just think that to get them to add a 350 seat 77W either on top of the A380 or 2 daily 777W th...

French Air force KC135 just did a quick touch and go

They'll need to be an announcement soon otherwise pax figures will plummet At GLA? With 2x new TUI 737's plus longer based dreamliner, 1x jet 737 on top of the 7 already based and another EZY airbus for the coming summer I don't see figures plummeting. FR's ops at GLA are unfortunately pretty small...

Hi Big ears. Sorry I totally forgot to reply to this. I was down last year. I did the park and ride from Cheltenham which was about an hour on the bus.
