Here is the article. The comments certainly suggest a resumption of EDI-Dubai service is likely. As others have estimated, based on slots request for Dubai, a 5 x weekly service could be a starting point. Perhaps increasing to daily at peak summer times which according to the article, the route previously performed very strongly. Is it too late for a resumption in 2022? Others believe it may be. I’m not so sure. A late November resumption for example would give them ample lead in time and would allow them to meet the the Xmas/NY demand.
The article says
Services to the Scottish capital are likely to be restored, he indicated. “Edinburgh was a very strong route for us, particularly inbound in summer,” he said.
The article also implies that EDI was dropped due to Covid, says Stansted is daily - it's five weekly - and omits Newcastle from the list of destinations not yet restored to pre-covid levels, so make of it what you will.
