Key point is Scottish Airports intended to get an ROI by funneling most of Scotland intercontinental out of GLA and leaving EDI to deal with city P2P, then Edinburgh became a much more well known city destination and GLA and EDI became competitors. EDI now does to GLA what GLA routinely once did to PIK. What a family!
Ah now I fully understand what you meant in that you were referring to the new international pier at Glasgow. Didn’t pick that up. The power is now definitely in the east as I am having to fly more from EDI due to both frequencies /timings (eg CWL) and costs. Flights to LHR / LGW are frequently a lot cheaper from EDI than GLA so my company books me from there even though I live on the Ayrshire coast.
