New route to Halifax, presumably on a 78M. A certain Glasgow forum will be livid. How dare EDI pinch our former route 😂.
Frequency increase for Calgary also.
It's a very impressive increase - especially given that Edinburgh's only Canadaian route was a 4(?) Weekly summer only Air Canada Rouge service not that long ago.
Another number year for TATL capacity from Edinburgh. Makes me wonder how sustainable it is but let's hope it keeps up. Wonder as well where the extra rotations from YYC are coming from given WestJet don't have an extra 789 - fairly sure it was shared with Barcelona IIRC.
That Glasgow forum is entertaining - and this is coming from someone who lives out west and is disappointed at the cuts. I quite liked the reply saying that a poster would no longer have an interest in any airline which moves east from Glasgow 😅
