The Emirates UK VP on a potential A380 to GLA

Emirates vice-president UK Laurie Berryman said: “I think it’s a question of when rather than if.”

He expected a double-deck aircraft on the route to come before a third daily flight.

He said: “I think the A380 is more likely, but I could not put a timescale on it. It’s a game changer and always drives traffic.”

That would be good coup for GLA and also could free up smaller aircraft for smaller airports.

From April 2019 Glasgow will be upgraded to the A380.
