Emirates has landed its first A380 in Glasgow, launching the first regular service of the aircraft to Scotland.
To prepare to receive the A380 on a regular basis, Glasgow Airport has invested significantly to upgrade its infrastructure, as the aircraft can weigh up to 575 tonnes.
The arrival of Emirates’ A380 marks a new daily service between Glasgow and Dubai that will run from today until September 30th.
While an A380 aircraft has touched down in Scotland before, this is the first time in history an A380 has been in regular service to Scotland.
