Emirates

Winter 20/21

EK website shows BHX as 4pw x 77W too

MAN is 2 x daily mix of 388 & 77W

NCL is 5 weekly on EK website

EDI daily bookable

Greater frequency at NCL than at BHX?

Greater frequency at NCL than at BHX?

Yes - as it stands !
Hopefully it will change ?
I guess it is the case again of Midlands pax can easily get to LHR / MAN

But some of this doesn't make sense, both NCL and EDI haven't been available until the start of winter but GLA and BHX have but then both NCL and EDI have higher frequencies than both GLA and BHX in the winter ? GLA is also x4 weekly ? NCL passengers can also get to EDI/MAN easily ?

Is there something in Newcastle that gives Emirates a reason for the frequency indicated? BHX had 2x A380 daily for a reason which appears to have gone temporarily but still requires B777 4 weekly so is it belly against cabin or aircraft availability? Demand for seats may of course play a part but they continue to operate and for that alone I offer my thanks.

I suspect this just a work in progress. The entries which look strange are the resuming services. I doubt EDI will have a higher frequency than GLA, nor NCL a higher frequency than BHX. Emirates are updating their schedules every few days.

Thank you Gulftraveller for that response and a belated welcome to our happy band!

Exactly what I thought gulftraveller ?

EDI, NCL and STN now canx for winter.

Suddenly a 4x weekly 777 feels quite promising

Anything is promising from Emirates or even Fly Dubai!

I'm starting to get the impression this'll be as good as it gets until either a vaccine is found, or there's a significant change in how aviation is treated (e.g. replacing quarantine with testing).

The big 5 UK airlines are now in a position that they can make it through the winter, but unless Summer 2021 goes VERY well, I think that big 5 will almost certainly become a big 3.

 

[JENNYJET]

I suspect Rishi Sunak is working a plan to help aviation as it has not been mentioned in any leaks to journalists, only impending doom gleefully reported as fact. The delay in publishing a Budget or Autumn statement to parliament suggests big things are coming and since UK has 2 trillion pounds pounds of debt a few billion of help for the airlines and airports won't be as much a burden with current market rates at near zero per cent.

Does anyone know what loaf factors are like on the current flights?

Anecdotally quite good, not sure how much bread they're bringing in though

The have cancelled EDI, NCL and STN and reduced MAN.

They must be making some dough out of it otherwise it would be toast.

 

[rollo]

Dear me some stale old jokes on here I think I'll spend the rest of the day loafing around.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Is there really any knead for these puns or are people just trying to get a rise?

Apologies for the crumby attempt at a joke, think I'm just baking a fool of myself.

 

[rollo]

I dough know what else to say really other than people doughnut have much to dough on a Saturday morning.

 

[Ray Finkle]

You Sir, are on a roll.

I'll stop now and get back to Emirates, it's the yeast I can do.

 

[JENNYJET]

Gentlemen, that was fun to read, and a pleasant change from the now usual doom. Thank you!!
