Slanging match Guvnor? You won't get one from
me. <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0">

The majority of people live in West Central Scotland yes. But it seems that most visitors
and Scots alike prefer to fly EDI.

The proof is in the passenger figures. On the various routes that both airports compete over,
EDI is the more popular. <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

I don't see why a daily transatlantic route from EDI should be any different.

Current growth rates suggest that EDI will be
Scotland's busiest airport circa 5 years.

Indeed,given independent owner at EDI, the airport
would be in the lead now. <img src="cool.gif" border="0">
