Everybody is a winner - the EDI fans will keep their hard fought for title of 'mair passengers than the Weegies' and GLA fans will see the long haul portfolio grow as EDI doesnt have the infastructure, or the space to do anything but grow LCC and UltraLCC destinations. Result all round methinks!
Surely new owners at EDI will resolve the problems with the airport and will do what is needed to attract new routes, be they long or shorthaul. Space at EDI is not really running out, but a much better use of the space they have would be a good idea for GIP to look at.
