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".
The double-decker four-engine jets can carry 517 passengers. Emirates has previously operated Glasgow-Dubai flights using Boeing 777s, which have 302 seats for passengers.
The airline's UK divisional vice president, Richard Jewsbury, told the PA news agency: "The return of the A380 is purely demand driven. We've seen sustained demand from the Scottish market.
