The ash is back
 
Today's EK27 Dubai to Glasgow diverted to Manchester.

Also EK35 got into NCL but EK36 could not take off and was cancelled. Pax were bussed to MAN for alternative flights.

EK 225 (DXB-SFO) and EK 215 (DXB-LAX) both diverted to YYZ today. I assume these were ash-related tech stops?

Sounds like they had to change their route somewhat, so needed to refuel.

Cheers,

Today's (25th May) flights in/out HAM also now cancelled (EK59/60). Pax will be transferred to DUS.

Does anyone know if the stop in YYZ (EK 225 DXB-SFO) and the late departure of EK 226 (SFO-DXB) will become a routine thing during the volcanic event, or is this probably a one time thing ?

Out of curiosity, what is the metal that Emirates use on the DBX-GLA route?

It's a 2-class B777-300ER. Usually one of the older spec. ones with the deeply reclining Business Class seats rather than lie-flats.

Last year it was regular for the few days because they couldn't fly over the poles due to the ash

It's actually more often than not now a 2-class 777-300ER with new lie-flat seats.
