Emirates visit, obviously they are just milking us for a free hospitality trip, as the Dubliners have made it perfectly clear that Emirates and others will never operate here.
Waldo, I'm certainly not a Dubliner. Rather, I am someone who fails to see the business sense in EK operating flights from both BFS and DUB. That is no insult to you and your love of the Harp Shed, but instead a genuine opinion. Furthermore, didn't we get to the bottom of why they were in town? Or did you just ignore that bit? Also, the link EI-BUD posted was to an article which was a rehash of the Irish News article.
You likely missed that one, and as both articles are full of empty supposition, I will take the idea of an EK flight with a pinch of salt. I'm still waiting for the ME flights so loudly heralded by the Bel Tel a while back:
Northern Ireland may secure direct flight connecting Belfast to Abu Dhabi - BelfastTelegraph.co.uk
There's not much reference to that article on here, four years later.
