Travel this route at least twice per month and I've not seen more than 5 spare seats since early 2010.
The second flight has been talked about for a while; apparently it will be a 3 days / week schedule, not sure about timings. There were rumours previously about a new EDI route too.

When this route kicked off, it was a given that you would get a good few seats beside you to relax on. But as of recent, its been hectic.
I am having to fly to Newcastle as Glasgow flights are fully booked for an entire month - or atleast the class i'm designated on. Not a happy bunny as the Newcastle flight is not only 2-3 hour car journey to Glasgow but also the fact that the aircraft is an older one ;(
Would love if Glasgow got a 2nd flight - be it 3 times or 2 times. I doubt Edinburgh would get EK allowance - it would be Qatar or Etihad as Abu Dhabi has helped the Edinburgh council with a few projects and vice versa. Would I like if Emirates got the contract for EDI - for sure, but I have my doubts ;(

Oh - and remember that however underused it was, the PIA flight from GLA to Pakistan via DXB has been no longer for a while now - that will have pushed numbers up I am sure.
