Hi Dave, the Wardair services (and possibly the Air Transat ones, but I wasn't quite as much of a geek by then
) were regarded as scheduled by the airport (they had them in their old printed timetable; charter / IT services weren't listed). It's more to do with the airport management's 'bigging up' Emirates. I'm on the outside looking in but they seem to be like starstruck teenagers where EK are concerned. BA carry twice as many passengers to LHR, but a 777 looks better on the
PR shots than an A319. Just a side issue really, probably better suited to the NCL thread
