Thanks Joe, I think as ever, you accidentally forgot the context which changes the meaning : "'It is well targeted and an appropriate reminder to those flying from Scotland's capital city that expensive and time-consuming connections on to long-haul flights through London or other European points are now a thing of the past. Glasgow's right there on the doorstep, providing the non-stop service to Dubai and on to points across the globe.'"
Emirates were using a Scottish airport to encourage Scots to use a direct Scottish service rather than one via London and on. Though I understand how you would see that as an attack on Edinburgh Airport.... It appears to be a dig at London but chips and shoulders etc
