Still this is great news for Scotland and should push the pax numbers of a bit at GLA if its a 50% increase in capacity its like geting a new daily A330 service.

"The introduction of larger aircraft reaffirms our commitment to developing our operation to and from Glasgow International Airport." Anyone smell 2x daily ??

Get real. What makes you think that EK will go double daily from GLA and not offer the second service out of EDI? Like many other wishes and hopes of this group a second EK service from GLA will not happen, Remember the EZY,AA, DL and LH rumours. The SE and BAA will ensure it doesn't happen David Back to top Iain Guest Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 8:02 pm    Post subject: Re: Emirates flies 77W to Glasgow "DavidP" <dperston (AT) rim (DOT) com> wrote Quote: Andrew Scotland wrote: ***Anyone smell 2x daily ?? *** A lovely strong smell? ;-) Get real.

The SE and BAA will ensure it doesn't happen I really don't think BAA care that much. There is more infrastructure at GLA to handle such flihgts than there is at EDI and hence an EDI service (particularly if timed in the middle of the day) will probably require the BAA to invest money at EDI in order to handle it that they wouldn't have to invest if it was at GLA. Granted, however, is the SE - I'm sure EK will be under very intense lobbying in order to get them to launch EDI instead of a 2nd daily GLA service.

Oh, and the 2nd daily GLA slots are still there... Ofcourse this could change in June, but I'd expect an announcement from EK before then.

These comparisons don't compare to the EDI/GLA reality. EK could just as easily run an evening service out of EDI and pull effectively the same catchment area as out of GLA. After all the both airports are within one hours travel time of each other. Watch this space if you don't believe me.....Delta did!

Slot applications are no guarantee of anything....see DL if you don't believe me.

There was one in November (Osaka) and the next one is in June (Vancouver). For the November applications, the airline must decide if its going to operate the route or not by January 31st I think. Yes slots don't mean too much, but surely the fact they have 2x daily at GLA and nothing at EDI tells you something? Although in my opinion EDI will see EK, maybe not until late 2007 or early 2008 though.
