Scottish tourists planning a trip to Dubai will be happy to learn that the world’s largest commercial passenger aircraft will return to Glasgow Airport after three years. Emirates’ hugely popular daily Dubai service will once again be served by the iconic Airbus A380 from March 26.
The aircraft, which was last in service at Glasgow in September 2019, is being re-introduced due to the increased demand for Emirates’ only daily route between Scotland and Dubai. Standing over 24 metres high and with a wingspan of nearly 80 metres, the A380 has been huge draw while operating on the Glasgow Dubai route, which commenced back in April 2004.
This is the third time Glasgow Airport will welcome the A380, which first visited on April 10, 2014, to celebrate Emirates’ 10th anniversary. In April 2019, the aircraft also made Scottish aviation history by becoming the first A380 to form part of a scheduled service anywhere in Scotland.
