Airline reports boom in first-class travel to UK from two countries
Emirates has reported a significant increase in first-class bookings to the UK from China (27 per cent) and India (17 per cent) in the first half of the year. It comes alongside a 10 per cent rise in business class bookings from Australia. The airline also anticipates a surge in Chinese visitors to regional UK airports like Glasgow and Newcastle, with projected increases of 18 per cent and 45 per cent respectively in the second half of 2025. Emirates says this growth in affluent international visitors is driving economic growth within the UK. The UK government aims to attract 50 million international visitors annually by 2030.

Storm Floris causes travel disruption as Britain braces for 90mph winds
Storm Floris has hit Britain and already caused travel disruption with a number of train cancellations. A yellow warning for wind in place for northern parts of the UK was upgraded to amber for much of Scotland with winds expected to reach 90mph from 10am. Train operator LNER told passengers not to travel north of Newcastle on Monday morning, while Avanti West Coast advised passengers not to travel north of Preston, warning it will be 'heavily impacted' by the weather. Network Rail said several lines will be closed from 12pm on Monday, with all other routes experiencing a reduced timetable and longer journey times. Western coastal areas are expected to bear the brunt of the storm, although strong winds and rain will likely lead to disruption at Edinburgh's festivals. The amber warning, in place from 10am to 10pm, states the potential 'danger to life' as a result of flying debris, large waves, and beach material being thrown onto sea fronts, coastal roads and properties.
