I had inadvertently deleted my post so thanks
XSBaggage for quoting it.
Pie in the sky it may sound, however this does give them the time to add a Belfast shuttle in the event that the ramifications of Brexit are detrimental to traffic flows across the Irish border, providing it of course makes financial sense! It is interesting to note that a Emirates sales team was installed in Belfast last year and their manager for Ireland reaffirmed their commitment to customers from the 'North' in the same article in The Irish News last year.
It will be interesting to see what happens here anyway and it is good news for Scotland as a whole!
