Lots of demand for foreign students returning to Glasgow and Edinburgh at this time of year. Qatar have been using the A350 on some days. EK in the past operated extra flights to GLA.

It will be interesting to read what the Glasgow EK pax totals are for December and January. I believe I’m correct to say that the Pakistani and Indian communities predominantly used EK for flights to/from Scotland. In a recent article on QR growth at EDI, the Pakistani and Indian market was the most under-used Asian market for QR. TK it would appear are now tapping more into the market with a codeshare agreement with PIA. How or will EK respond?

Well they will respond by adding the three extra frequencies increasing to ten weekly: double daily in Tue,Thu, Sat.
Like EK in GLA most flights full spans bursting at the seams. Now that the Antipodes are fully open again they are the main onward destinations but extra capacity offers much more for India,Pakistan Sri Lanka which are popular but eclipsed by Aus and NZ.
Now that China is opening again cue more folks for Beijing and Shanghai.
