We regret the inconvenience caused, and affected customers should contact their booking agent or Emirates call centre for rebooking.

Whole of the UK, yes. I'd intially seen that on the news then saw a local news bulletin suggesting Scotland was banning UAE flights.

Anyone know if any of the GLA services will operate as freight only?

I wonder if 'essential defence activities' is SG making sure PIK can still welcome night-stopping USAF, KAF, RCAF flights

Flight crew are pretty much exempt from everything

So we'll find out tomorrow how SG are going to enforce its quarantine rules

Can we expect Police Scotland patrolling the baggage belt looking for via LHR labels?

I suspect the only direct international flights are Turkish Airlines into Edinburgh and SAS & Wideroe into Aberdeen

AF and QR into EDI too

As loopholes go, you could drive a bus through this one. (Or fly an ATR).
