The answer for NCL is no. Taxiway widening/strengthening and parking would also be a major issue. Taxiway width would certainly be an issue at EDI.
Many thanks for that info. Never thought at any point we would see an A380 at EDI because of the runway length anyway. Let’s remain positive and hope that EK do start back, but hopefully not at the expense of Qatar.
Maybe one day in the next year or two we may see double daily’s return.
