the twice daily emirates flights from manchester using A330 will be going to B772 from early next year because of demand and they recon there will be a need for a third daily flight by june 2004.
they are also launching a daily flight from dubia to america via LHR in the spring of 2004 and maybe one via manchester

Unlikely, I think; for a start, they won't be flying to the US anytime soon, as they don't have an oversight authority acceptable to the US. Secondly, even if they did, they would be doing so n/s; that's what the A340-500s were bought for. They certainly wouldn't use LHR slots, even if they could get the green light for the right to do so.
However, I expect more routes to be added next year, beyond the GLA and VIE already announced.

Don't know about early morning slots at LHR, but word in Dublin is that GF is interested in flying there, starting with a charter this Christmas and likely to become scheduled by next year.
So, despite having one of the best networks to Australia and the opportunity staring it in the face to be the leading carrier between Ireland and Asia, Australia/ME/India/S Africa, it's possible that it's now blown this chance.
I do hope Glasgow works for them. Oh yes, and Lagos too. The corruption capital of the world should really be a moneyspinner for them.

The GLA news is great.
Let's hope it goes double daily within a few years.
Along with the reports of PIA this has been a good week for Scotland's busiest airport.
Long may it continue.

More great news.
The Evening times has just confirmed the above.
I wonder if Delta will open the much talked about BOS route next year.
Things are really looking up for Scotland's biggest and best.
