Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Jim Sheridan (Labour), on Thursday, 1 May 2014, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 12 members in total.


GLASGOW AIRPORT, FIRST SCOTTISH AIRPORT TO WELCOME THE A380

That this House welcomes Glasgow Airport on becoming the first Scottish airport to welcome the A380, the world's largest commercial aircraft; notes that Emirates operated the one-off A380 flight to celebrate the tenth anniversary of its Glasgow to Dubai service which has carried over 2.4 million passengers since its launch on 10 April 2004; recognises this was a significant milestone in Scottish aviation history; believes the A380 service was yet another example of Emirates' commitment to Scotland following the introduction of a second daily flight in 2012; and welcomes the important contribution of Glasgow Airport to the economic success of Renfrewshire and Scotland.
