He said the talks with the Indian airlines were likely to break down. IndiGo don't currently operate long haul flights, and I very much doubt their first destination would have been Edinburgh. They have apparently now decided not to proceed with launching any long haul flights, so they are out. Air India isn't in the healthiest of states at the moment, and is more likely to be cutting long haul routes, rather than adding more.

I'm surprised WestJet havent decided to launch, I thinkt hats a route that would have done quite well. Cant see much in the way of expansion from United and Delta this summer - Delta have already added a new flight, United did just last year. Short of upgrading to a 767, I can't see United wanting to add a 4th daily flight, but you never know.
