Will be interesting to see how this route pans out.
Was also surprised to see EY with international expansion again given we were lead to believe it was finished.
Hainan are HU not HA. It looks like the route is performing fairly well and reductions in the winter are entirely sensible given there will almost certainly be lower demand. It will be interesting to see if they increase the frequency around Christmas and New Year.
I am very impressed with EDI's June 2018 performance on the long haul routes to the Middle East and across the Atlantic. Just to give an idea, here are the numbers:
DOH- 74% (11,280 passengers, +8.0%) QR
AUH- 90% (9,885 passengers, +7.9%) EY
Total UAE and Qatar = 21,165 passengers, +8.0% (increase of 1,565 passengers)
YYZ- 84% (4,740 passengers, +23.0%) AC
ORD- 92% (9,336 passengers, +8.8%) UA
JFK- 89% (18,422 passengers, +9.1%) DL and AA
EWR- 92% (9,328 passengers, -39.2%) UA (one of two daily replaced by service to IAD)
SWF- 87% (5,283 passengers, +33.0%) D8
PVD- 88% (4,175 passengers, +138.7%) D8
IAD- 85% (8,571 passengers, new service) UA (replaces one of two daily EWR services)
SAN - 88% (504 passengers, +87.4%) BY
Total USA and Canada = 60,369 passengers, +15.9% (increase of 8,284 passengers)
