Just a quick and random but related question, how comes EK does not serve EDI at all?
It seems rather strange to me that there is not no demand for that routing, and yet there obviously appears to be a large demand between GLA-DXB, even though EDI is the capital of Scotland?
When Emirates first decide to fly to Scotland they approached both airports,GLA had the facilities that Emirates required IE jet ways dedicated gate and were more willing to accommodate Emirates requirements
EDI hasn’t/or didn’t have the capability to handle Emirates requirement
as Im lead to believe EDI cant handle a fully loaded T7 their max is a 767/A330 for stands and runway length
