Glasgow, UK. 27 September 2019. Following the immediate fallout from the collapsed tour company Thomas Cook, Operation Matterhorn is still in full swing at Glasgow Airport.

In a Scottish aviation history first today is the first day that any Scottish airport has hosted two if the super jumbo behemoth Airbus A380-800 aircraft at the same time, but also there was an additional other two jumbos at Glasgow at the same time, a Hi Fly Airbus A340-300 and a Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747-400. In addition to these Glasgow also hosted a number of other wide bodies. Colin Fisher/CDFIMAGES.COM
