It would be interesting to understand how it all works at SNN as I suspect this would be closest to any proposed operation at EDI based on a supposition that SNN has a more seasonal traffic flow like EDI (DUB being stronger all year round).
I do recall the US Border Control hours being reduced/ limited highlighted by the fact BA had to cut/ retime their (ultimately I’ll fated even before COVID) flights from LCY to JFK which used SNN as a refuel and border clearance point.
At a time the airport is reported to be up for sale, this might just be a marketing ploy, as I can’t see the current owners investing significantly in new or rearranged infrastructure to make this possible let alone the costs charged by the US government.
Being optimistic I hope I am wrong as it would be attractive to airlines, passengers and exporters.
