What people need to remember is that whilst Edinburgh is the darling of the tourist world and sees a huge amount of inbound passengers Glasgow is Scotland’s biggest city and so has the critical mass. This is why most of the charter and holiday destinations have historically departed from the West.
I believe that EK looked at operating the 380 previously but lack of cargo capacity was the issue. With the EDI flight some of this can move east alleviating the issue at GLA and potentially allowing the 380 to operate one of the flights.
if we look at catchment areas though, they are much closer together and the east in particular is growing at a faster rate. Airports don’t just serve the cities.
