Emirates

This month's airliner world has a 2 page article on the return of Emirates A380 to GLA. Whats within it is far more interesting and builds on what pushingtin said re the second daily flight.

They interviewed Richard Jewsbury who is Emirates UK divisional vice president. He said the following,

"We've got a second Glasgow flight to come at some point. Edinburgh we haven't really started with yet but, that will come at some point in the future I'm sure. Its all driven by aircraft capacity so there's no timeline at the moment but we are working hard to bring our aircraft back into service".

They should hurry up and get the 2nd daily flight going again then!

Looking back to last year, it was mid-January when the return of the A380 was announced, so we may hear something soon. Worth noting this is also the 20th anniversary of the route, in April.

Maybe they're waiting for slots to open up at EDI to move the flights there

Let's hope so

There will be something for the 20th Anniversary but aircraft and crew availability are still hindering restoration of the 2nd daily.

Good news and bad news then. What puzzles me is EK can add extra capacity on other UK routes despite this.

Or have they already missed the boat given QR increasing to winter double daily on A350s?

QR don’t serve GLA.
