World's largest airliner touches down in Glasgow for first time since 2019
The world's largest airliner returned to Glasgow on Sunday for the first time since September 2019. Middle Eastern carrier Emirates said its reintroduction of an Airbus A380 for flights between the Scottish city and Dubai is due to "sustained demand".
"Dubai is the number one destination but we're seeing really good flows down to Australia, Thailand, the Indian subcontinent - which is very popular particularly for VFR traffic - and the Indian Ocean."As we go into the summer period we're expecting more visitors and inbound traffic from around the network."
But their ability to carry more passengers than all other commercial planes means the model is making a recovery.He said: "I think the A380 always has been and will continue to be in high demand. It's a really superb product. Very spacious, very comfortable, very quiet. Top news stories today Figures from aviation analytics company Cirium show A380s are expected to be used for 5,857 commercial passenger flights across all airlines this month.
Aviation consultant John Strickland, of JLS Consulting, said one of the reasons the plane is popular with passengers is that "even if you sit in economy there's a much greater sense of space".
