Gatwick is [effectively] a single runway airport, and it handles over double the number of aircraft movements of EDI.
Gatwick has a lot more ground space than EDI. Edinburgh could have a lot more runway movements at the moment, but then there would be no stands where to put them.
Still, I agree. GLA is nowhere near capacity. If anything, they could do with a boost. And EDI stands are full first thing in the morning and last thing at night but lots of spare capacity in between.
