Glasgow Airport passengers 'benefiting from Emirates service'
Mon, 22 Sep, 2008
Passengers departing from Glasgow Airport have benefited from services introduced by Emirates Airlines in 2004, it has been reported.
The carrier is the only one to offer long-haul services east from Scotland, meaning that travellers can get direct flights to Dubai.
They can then get transfers to a number of worldwide destinations, including Australia, the Press and Journal reports.
Once at Glasgow airport, Emirates passengers have their own dedicated check-in area, making services quick and easy, Emirates' manager for UK north and Scotland Laurie Berryman said.
"We have been thrilled with the success of our service and how enthusiastically it has been received by both business and leisure passengers across Scotland," he commented.
Mr Berryman added that more services are likely to be introduced at the hub, since demand is continuing to grow.
Emirates Airlines recently won the accolade of best in-flight entertainment in the world (large airlines) at World Airline Entertainment Association's Avion Awards in California.
