Oh my word. An individual who toed the line and supported dictator Sturgeon and her attempts to destroy the aviation sector during the pandemic. The individual is no supporter of the aviation sector.

The perception of unfair is very understandable. However, any body or company or organisation tasked with promoting a sector of the economy, business or the country more generally will always target the city or location or business which offers the highest potential return on the investment.

This smacks of an airline desperate for some income stream. Any cash to keep them going for a period. Yes they have to test out the product. However, their well known plan is to serve the US from London. Not a regional airport like Glasgow. Not easy obtaining slots at LHR. Gatwick could be an option...

Sounds like EK are a little unreasonable tbh. GLA spent millions to accommodate 1 EK flight per day and their response is to be piqued and say it's not enough.

DXB down 5%. More concerning is that a new service went from 0 to 10,278 Does anyone know what that equates to load factor wise? I think it depends on the aircraft type that operated.
