They do, looking at their schedule, they have twice daily non-stop flights to SYD with the A345.
Brisbane is a daily B773 with a stop in SIN.
Any EDI-DXB flight connecting with these inbound/outbound would be a winner! 😉

They don’t have UK-DXB-Sydney or Brisbane? 🙁

MEL is a mix of non-stop A345 and one-stop( in SIN) B777. 1x daily for each or 6 times weekly reduced on a Sunday I think?
Brisbane is a daily B773 with a stop in SIN.

Yes, but a lot of the EK flights are 2 stop. Their 777’s are godawful charter configured aircraft and they lack the range to fly to Oz. Most flights are UK-DXB-SIN-OZ.

No doubt but there is something very tempting about
flying 1 stop from Edinburgh to, say OZ, rather than the
competition’s 2 stops? :confused:

They are deploying the A345 on some Oz routes, meaning you can do UK-DXB-OZ but by no means is that usual with EK.
Just try flying to NZ! They make you spend the night in MEL, in the terminal!
A far better option is UK-SIN-OZ with Singapore Airlines. They at least serve Manchester (unlike BA) and their 777’s actually have a normal airline seating configuration, unlike Emirates.

Aer Lingus have siad that there will be no long haul expansion until 2006 but then they go and start MCO.
Aer Lingus operate 7 A330s-4×300 and 3×200.
They have daily flight to ORD and BOS as well as 3 flight a week to LAX in the summer and 2 daily to JFK.A daily SNN-JFK seperate from the DUB.Also daily to BWI and MCO only one operating at a time.
So to keep operating them EI needs 6 A330s with the LAX plane availabe 4 days so DXB is definiley possible.
Time will tell.

I have read the same thing on pprune, apparantly NCL is been seriously considered, not the coming year but the year after. It seems EK and CO really want to fly out of regional airports 🙂
My god! I think I’m having an asthma attack! This is superb news for Newcastle and other airports included! I really, really hope it’s true we need long-haul routes out of our airport 😀
