Also seams Iceland Air has come to knot - does
it cost airlines to hold slots and not use them?
No penalty for foreign airlines not using slots at EDI. Only UK registered airlines must use or lose slots following CAA’s amnesty on slots usage was withdrawn for S23. I wonder if EK is holding off to see what QR do before making a decision? They also have well documented staffing issues, which may be a factor. They are also due to take deliveries of A350’s and 787-9 in 2024. The recently rumoured return of Etihad is still on the cards according to contacts at EDI.
