Cop 26 flights

[GKirk]

Not sure if related but a Japanese 777 has just landed at EDI. Believed to be positioning to PIK later on

No GLA then?

Edit: Just seen it has indeed visited GLA. You should get a job at the BBC Kirky, very selective posting.

Didnt know it was going to GLA when I posted.

I know Kirky. Jesting with you mate.

Non-aeronautical, but the 2nd large ferry due tomorrow to provide floating accommodation for service personnel, Silja Europa presently heading down the West Coast on the way from Talinn. As an aside, there is supposedly a helipad being provided at KGV dock, which may be related to work underway beside Sainsbury's.

Saw a Saudi Airlines Cargo 777-300 landing at EDI mid-afternoon coming in from Fuimicino Rome. Cargo for Cop 26? Popes vehicles etc, as he’s staying in EDI!?

The Pope's no longer attending.

Heard it was bringing in vehicles for the Saudi rulers.

So, GLA is going to get very little VIP traffic for COP26 then? All going to EDI and PIK?

upwards of 25,000 due in City starting Monday
I would assume that there will be all sorts of flights.
Had to laugh this morning. They are cleaning the M80 (route from Gleneagles). Multiple Road sweepers on hard shoulder.
Meanwhile, in the parts of the City that the Cop people wont see, its a complete riot with bins overflowing and vermin numbers exploding.
This wins the 2021 Virtue Signalling World Cup.
