I had heard that the new jetty at CWL was second hand from LHR T1, although how true that is I don't know.
To be honest, EDI could do with new jetties all round, some of them are quite unreliable and tired looking.
I believe that the 'new' airbridge at Cardiff was purchased from LGW and was originally at the old pier 1 and not purchased from LHR T1.
I was under the impression that Cardiff had purchased two of them from LGW.
The AirBridges at Cardiff are totally different from the usual AirBridges seen at other airports as there not fully extendable and the Brand NEW ones at EDI are similar to those found at LHR T2 and T5.
Although I agree that EDI could do with replacing some of their existing AirBridges and as well as adding more to those gates that don't currently have them.
