I don't see any direct quotes to confirm this story.
Indeed the same chap is quoted as saying they are looking at GLA going double daily.
I would say that is far more likely as it would connect with the nonstop SYD flight.

I saw an interview with the EK executive, Mr. Longstaff and it looks as if EDI is certainly being considered; so too is GVA and ... (be still, my beating heart!), Dublin.
Here's hoping!

Well,what the hell is this then? From Vice Pres Europe Ops---
Longstaff said: "We cannot ignore the other provincial centres; and in Scotland this means Edinburgh."
This daily GLA versus EDI supporter thing really gets me all BORED(censored!) Give it a rest!

Typical soap dodging weegies though, always got a chip on their shoulder.
Crikey Scottie, where did that comment come from??
Perhaps you might want to wash your mouth out with the soap that us Glaswegians don't use. No need for it on this forum.

It seems to be the way to go these days, operating from both airports, CO starting it. I have always believed that we will see EK at EDI on a regular basis before the decade is out, I'll stick to that belief. 
If anything, it's more RDF money in EK's pockets.

Its the same thing on many forums all over the place. When something hints to good news for EDI, the GLAers come along and play it down.
Many GLAers would have had you believe CO were not going to fly to EDI from EWR, that EDI was not suitable and would not provide enough demand.
Well ha...to them, each flight from EDI leaves 90-95% full. I've flown it... chocka block outbound and inbound.
Longhaul from EDI has demand. The airlines that realise this and make a go of it will and are making good money.
If Emirate do indeed try EDI out, they'll probably not regret it.

I think Emirates are following the same game plan as Continental.
Having already got a toe-hold in BAA
Scotland's empire, BAA would find it difficult to resist, on the same terms airlines are already paying.?

Sorry was just trawling 
Bit of banter, all good fun. 
I hope Emirates does start a route out of EDI, it'll add to the pressure on BAA to expand the airport which had been neglected in the past in favour of GLA (not that I am in any way criticising GLA).

Chairman of EK has said all EK operations from Scotland will be from GLA but what ells do you expect from the Scotsman.......
Bmused55 i find your use of the word "ned" extremly ofencive and have made a complaint against you. If i were you i would not go around using language like this seen as you got banned from another forum for this just last week........

I'm in a position to know, because I was the Moderator who imposed the ban from that Forum.
Now, perhaps you'd care to tell the boys and girls here who else was given a final warning for the same reason at the very same time? Hmmm?
Or perhaps about the long-standing personal feud between you and the other person you were referring to above?
Profuse apologies for this, Mods, but I really couldn't let such a blatantly misleading posting about another member go unchallenged.

Spoken like the true GLA fan you are. Complain all you like, I made no reference to you or anyone else.
You're the one thats made a directed assault here.

OK. This forum this week has had more than its fair share of snipers and critics. This is just another example of that. Tit for tat and all that childish stuff.
Here is a suggestion you will like. Those who have been using supposedly naughty words have the ability to edit there own posts - please do it NOW!
Here is a suggestion you won't like as an alternative. I close the thread! Very simple very effective and gets rid of those who can't control themselves by slagging off anyone they choose. The lesson here is that it doesn't achieve anything and usually makes you look foolish. Got the point.
I'll be back to see if anyone has some sense. God know's we need some.
