175
flybe timetable showing EDI-SOU changing from the Q400 to the 175 on 1/10/2012. Frequency three daily in the week operating from the EDI base but the SOU based flights I think remain as they are.
Not a massive amount of increase in seats but no doubt will be welcome.

RWY 12/30 CLOSED
Seems like major WIP in the next 3 months?

12/30 has been closed by successive and continuous NOTAMs for what must now be years. It's nothing new. CabinCrewe, if you have any credible evidence that it's being "decommissioned" I'd like to see it. If they were going to do that, why use a NOTAM? Just remove it from use in an AIP amendment.

No plans for 12/30 to be brought back into use, it is expected in the next year to be officially closed, to allow works to allow more nightstopping aircraft

What else do you need. That's now two people telling you. But happy for you to wait for formal confirmation if you are not happy with us giving you advanced information

Does EDI even need the cross runway as an active runway? LHR survives without 05/23, GLA moved on without 10/27 and BHX lost their own cross strip which clearly I cannot recall the designation. Tis the way of things.
The only one that REALLY needs a cross runway is PIK as the cross runway is the one they built into the prevailing wind!!!

Exactly, cross rwys have had their day. LHR's 05/23 has been built on, or soon will be (terminal reconstruction).
Nowadays it's all about parallel rwys.

B777, A340 and B747 airfield upgrades on the way?
Extract from
http://www.ukaccs.info/edinburgh/eaccmins05212.pdf
"A modification and upgrade of the terminal and
airfield facilities will be carried out in order to accommodate
aircraft such as the B777, A340 and B747. This work costing £5m is
being done in anticipation of new routes operating such aircraft being
introduced in the near future."
It will be interesting to learn the result of the first EACC meeting
under GIP's helm which took place on Monday 13th August 2012.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but Jet2 adds two frequencies between Alicante and Edinburgh during the peak summer season 2013 to 5 flights/week.
And the summer season starts with 4 flights/week (one more than summer 2012).

Paxing All Over The World
On Friday 17th, this page Alice Jones: Now viewers have real stars in their eyes - Commentators - Opinion - The Independent contains an amusing story:
Picasso's nude woman gets a bra for 24 hours
Picasso's nude woman gets a bra for 24 hours
As the world dons neon balaclavas in support of Pussy Riot, Edinburgh has been having its very own Picasso Riot. At the beginning of this year's festival, managers at the city's airport took the bizarre decision to censor a poster of Picasso's Nude Woman in a Red Armchair that was hanging in its arrival hall to advertise an exhibition at the Scottish National Gallery.
A passenger complained that she didn't much care for being greeted by a pair of giant oil-painted breasts, Pablo or no Pablo thank you very much, and so, in a move straight out of a spoof fly-on-the-wall documentary, the authorities covered the offending area with a strip of vinyl, transforming one of the masterpieces of 20th century art into Nude Woman in a Red Armchair and White Bra. Within 24 hours, realising the error of their ways, they stripped her off again.
Now she sits proudly untampered-with in the arrivals hall once more, alongside all those billboards of skimpily clad models selling bikinis.

Is it not a bit odd to decide base two more planes at Edinburgh, before deciding what routes they will service? Or do they know, but just dont want to commit yet?
Any guesses on the new rotues? The guy on the radio was talking about inward tourism so I am guessing big cities rather than bucket and spade routes.

Possibly a bit of Jet2 expansion from EDI next year. Perhaps a slightly larger 737 and a few canaries and greek routes added in
