One wonders why A350 put on when a 787 half empty. The general public wont get any promo publicised adverts for the Airbus I wouldnt have thoughtif that was the ploy. Yikes, just wait til EK start, Ramadan or not...��
May is not holiday season and Ramadan does play a significant role in reducing traffic to/from the ME.
But that aside, the 350 has had loads exceeding the 788 every day, in both cabins, both ways, since it was introduced on Sunday, so clearly they made the right choice.
Promotional adverts have been placed all over Edinburgh, the airport, local print media and in Glasgow too, so not sure what you're getting at. The route is obviously doing well, apparently that upsets some people greatly and they seemingly can't wait for the demise of QR EDI. Pathetic.
