Emirates

[VanBosh]

Would the DUB transfer percentage not be higher as it would include ex Dub pax connecting at LHR with EI & BA?

[canberra97]

I dont think we will be seeing Emirates at either BRS or LBA considering their runways lengths just take into account the issue with PK at LBA concerning 777 ops and Thomson with their 767s and 787s at BRS plus EK wont have any 330s in the fleet soon so no suitable aircraft anyway for either of those airports.

Even if a 777 could be operated out of either BRS and LBA without any penalties I still think it would too large an aircraft and would be over kill for the routes.

STN is my bet on the next Emirates UK airport and even more so now MAG is involved it surely has to be announced within the year even if it is cargo ops to start with but it will happen one day.

It has the potential catchment area as we all know of North and East London, the East Midlands and the whole of the Anglia region and especially the Essex crowd so it is only obvious that EK will eventually fly from the three main London airports at some point.

[Heathrow Harry]

the real point is that Emirates are steadily increasing their services into UK regional airports whereas BA are cutting back

Apart from LHR any of the airports currently served by Emirates can take another service per day or they can just up the size of the aircraft - at LHR it just means more A380's

I guess most interlining traffic at Amsterdam is Europe/N African bound, Paris Africa , Madrid, S America whilst Dubai is steadliy becoming the main choice if you are heading into Asia & the Middle East

Heathrow Harry,

Yes BHX could take a 3rd service the load factors on the 2 at present are now consistently over 82%.

However it may get an A380 before then, although that would hit cargo.

Of course if another carrier started from BHX (Qatar said they want to fly from BHX) then could scupper any EK increase although another carrier would be prefereable.

[chaps2011]

Nigel
When Qatar and Etihad came to Manchester it actually made Emirates grow faster as they competed

[CabinCrewe]

At GLA Mid 80's LF on double daily with First Class versus mid 60's on once daily 2 class at NCL, one presumes any further northern regional expansion will be at GLA ? Not sure if they'd go A380 / 2 class 777 or add a third frequency. An Emirates lounge is currently being built at GLA.

[MathFox]

For the hub-and-spoke operation Emirates has it makes sense to fly with bigger planes on the high-demand routes. Add slot restrictions at major destinations and growing by flying bigger planes becomes the easiest solution.

[nigel osborne]

Chaps2011

Yes noticed that Qatar Etihad and Emirates were all up again out of MAN last month.

Think we still have a shout at getting Qatar next year at BHX, to give EK some more competition.

[nigel osborne]

Looking for a job

Think nearly all of EK current A380s and the newly ordered ones are leased. So its more a headache for the leasing company, Doric.

In 10 years their will probably be an A380 NEO with new engines so as EK only want to keep the current ones 12 years who would be interested in the older less efficient model..might have to start scrapping them !

[Dannyboy39]

Yes, I'm sure Doric will have a headache from all the $$$$ they'll be collecting from the maintenance reserves/rent from all those A380s!

[nigel osborne]

Dannyboy,

You miss my point, that being it will be up to Doric to find homes for a large number of older A380s, who will want them ?

[HH6702]

Ryanair to take them

Ryanair may take then

How many could he fit into them.
Problem is not many airports Ryanair fly Into could handle the aircraft

Lookin' good for EK! How about Kathmandu???

[falconeasydriver]

However it may get an A380 before then, although that would hit cargo.

My understanding from an Ops point of view is that in order for the 380 to operate in an out of BHX, the airport is effectively closed to other movements whilst the 380 is in motion, obstacle clearance being an issue.
How the runway extension will affect things I'm not sure, but the current taxiway layout is problematic.
