Here's a reply to a question on another aviation ng - "Would think the only SLIM chance would be the odd Emirates one, as their sales ex GLA are through the roof. I tried to book GLA-DXB in August,for someone, and there was only 3 days with available seats. Can't see EK upgrading to a 777 just yet. I think best hope will be one of the "regular" tech/sick pax divs that pop in, or, if KLM get any more they crew train at PIK."

Noticed that they have flights that are now totally sold out and the price of the seats on other flights is rising.

It looks like GLA is going to have a record year and here's hoping PIA announce something soon as that surely would be the icing on the cake, well, unless Delta announce BOS ;-) BLIMPS Back to top Gusty Guest Posted: Thu Feb 26, 2004 8:42 am    Post subject: Re: Emirates Loads ex GLA.

BLIMPS Although it's nice to see it attract heavy forward bookings....one must add the cautionary tale that we'd need to see if these materialise into bums on seats at the time (one is minded by the quite high bookings on the MAN-DOH service which saw only a fraction of the passenger numbers that the bookings suggested would happen). The threshold for upgrading is around the 170,000 passenger mark (above 75% load factor) with one trusting that they don't have equipment shortage which hindered expansion at another airport.

A lot depends on whether the east coast business community will support flights away from their local airport at EDI... Many may well experiment ..... but I suspect many will return to fly EDI connecting flights..

David Yes I would expect at least one full year of operation before EK look at upgrading and the business class uptake may be more of an issue with a 777 but it certainly seems to be going very well from the early signs. You mention 75% but I honestly expect figures nearer 100%. Interseting to note for this thread too that the US Airways flights seem to be getting well booked in advance also. David any word from the East on Qatar or PIA? Both rumours have been re-iterated recently. Clive Back to top Jon Guest Posted: Thu Feb 26, 2004 4:39 pm    Post subject: Re: Emirates Loads ex GLA.

That would be great Clive. The only worry I have about that however would be that their 777's are configured for F/J/M (I think) and I'm not sure if there would be much demand for F. I'd love to be wrong tho... Gusty Back to top Gusty Guest Posted: Thu Feb 26, 2004 10:43 pm    Post subject: Re: Emirates Loads ex GLA.

Clive Heard nothing recently but the local paper has mentioned the increased PK schedule ex-MAN. Might be a good time to start looking at the PK website. As for Qatar, I think it would be the winter timetable at the earliest before they look to expand.
