I wonder if the new pier at GLA publicly stated by Mr Baxter 'to handle bigger planes' might be designed to take one of EK's superjumbos. If they are going to have 85 of them in their fleet I wouldn't be suprised at all if GLA were to see one on a regular basis in a few years time. In about 6 or 7 years time we might see an A380 on the lunchtime service and a 773 in the evening :-) Cheers Gusty Back to top Blimpee Guest Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2005 5:04 pm    Post subject: Re: EK to order another 40 A380's The message <d5eb4968.0503280521.47acd8a8 (AT) posting (DOT) google.com> from [email]davidspence_trader (AT) hotmail (DOT) com[/email] (Guster_O) contains these words: Quote: In about 6 or 7 years time we might see an A380 on the lunchtime service and a 773 in the evening Depending on what substance one was on.?

I doubt BAA will spend all that money just to handle a single A380 each day... -- regards, G Coates webmaster www.taxiwayalpha.com Back to top hayseed Guest Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2005 5:59 pm    Post subject: Re: EK to order another 40 A380's "Blimpee" <blimpee (AT) edinburghairport (DOT) org.uk> jealously slabbered in message news:2005032818042566937 (AT) edinburghairport (DOT) org.uk...

You seem to know as much about airline industry and travel trends, as you do about brain surgery,Joe!!here's a wee FACT(something we know you are unfamiliar with)GLA is getting a new pier which will be made to handle "larger" aircraft!! Given that the current pier can handle up to 747 size, then a "larger" aircraft may be an A380,no?

As there are no 747s on scheduled services 30 years after they started then I doubt if the very substantial investment for A380s would be economic. Far more likely that the new deveolopments of piers etc will lead to more point to point international services with A330 / A340 or similar sized Boeings.

Doug Agreed Doug I'm just answering the reply to a stupid posting by a jealous idiot, however, there is nothing to suggest that there WON'T be A380's at GLA (although i won't be holding my breath, that long) Back to top colin.

Far more likely that the new deveolopments of piers etc will lead to more point to point international services with A330 / A340 or similar sized Boeings. I doubt it myself Doug but stranger things have happened. Remember GLA had scheduled 747 ops by ACA 747's in the early 90's and also regular flights by Iberia 747's and Nationair 747's. The demolition of the Cityexpress/old Burnthills hangar and the realignment of the main taxyway means there would be no taxying obstacles for any type of a/c, also I believe there is a problem with runway/taxyway clearance at the 23 end in the Link 'A' Link 'B' area which will be remedied when the taxyway is realigned. Also I believe there is scope for a runway extension at the 05 end. B P.S. Maybe we'll see Emirates A380 freighters ;-) Back to top hayseed Guest Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2005 6:42 pm    Post subject: Re: EK to order another 40 A380's "Blimpee" <blimpee (AT) edinburghairport (DOT) org.uk> wrote in message > Listen if you are going to make accusations please provide a link to them.?

He will be re-instated shortly.
