Emirates

HH6702/firstchoice7e7

Emirates have not found it easy with all their third flights and Glasgow doesn't fill two at the moment.

Per the CAA figures, 2015 was 429602 pax & 2014 424561 pax - 1460 flights which is 294 per flight or 82%. That is a pretty small increase and I realise the QR & EY at EDI has affected the Scottish market. Maybe another reason why any increase if any should come via an A380 rather than a third flight.

Manchester can't get a 4th flight despite load factors often over 90% going down the all A380 route first and BHX has needed some juggling of their A380 service, as the morning flight is still growing at a very slow rate.

Rome has lost or is losing its morning flight and Lisbon is going back to daily indicating Emirates are getting a bit more ruthless.

If the 380 is on offer in exchange for some stand enhancements I would snap their hand off.
