also how long as this plan has been in the works, bet anything this has been planned for years and always have been ready to launch but they were waiting for the BAA competition ruling to see whether if glasgow or edinburgh would be sold
also it would be great if qatar airways would launch a service as well that would be awesome
so I guess the next question how long before we glasgow gets a third service either a early morning service or late evening one, maybe not or not for a long while until how well the 2nd service does
also 12 jobs what will the 12 jobs consist of i think night shift during when emirates lands in the night from customer service to ground handlers.
A A340-300 why that aircraft they could use an 340-500 or a 777-200LR both have first class as well
good news anyway
Thats what they said about Manchester, 'where is the demand?' - yet two out of their three flights are 3 class and have been for a while.
Why would EK put First on a route if they know that only upgrades will get the seats? Seems commercially naive to me so I sense that is nonsense.
And as for most Scots being poor.....hells teeth......don't even know where to start with that one. First, as has been pointed out already, not everyone using planes to and from Scotland is Scottish. It would be quite unique in the world of air travel were that the case.
Second - its claptrap anyway. There is poverty everywhere in the UK yet the world keeps spinning and the number of people travelling by air keeps growing.....partly because companies like EK have brought the cost of flying down. Do you have any idea what it cost to fly from Scotland to DXB in the early 80's, when the competition was a lot less fierce?
