In addition, Emirates' B77W has 10 First and 42 Business Class seats, compared with just 22 Business Class seats onboard the Qatar Airways B788
.

The EK 77W fleet has a number of different configs - the Newcastle route usually gets the so-called "two-class" without First.

EDI, GLA and MAN are all within a three hour drive of NCL, and for the majority of people within NCL's catchment area, these alternative airports are equidistant to NCL. Therefore, the whole 'BFS doesn't need a ME3 service because passengers can just fly from DUB instead' argument is void.
Belfast to Dublin is a damn sight easier drive than any of these three.

Take a look at the North East, with the many families of Asian or African descent. Take a look at Northern Ireland, not a patch on that.
interesting point, any stats to back that up?
