What surprises me about EDI is that Gatwick is so much better and GIP clearly recognise standards.
I thnk GIP really thought they needed to vastly improve Gatwick when they first bought it out with a view to go head to head with LHR for the new runway for London. BAA had let LGW slide as they built T5 and planned the T2 rebuild for LHR. To be taken at all seriously in the recent battle, they had to invest heavily with a view that winning would make it all worth it.
Once the new Stands 15/16 are fully in use, they have four narrow body or two wide body gates, which will still be tight for next summer. Is there a plan to extend the SE pier down to the corner where flybe are banished on 34?
