Wick had a long running Loganair connection to EDI for onward connections which was slowly killed by the increase in options out of INV. I would suggest that the return of BA to LHR and KLM offering AMS was a better option for local connectivity than a connection x 2 over EDI. I have flown Eastern's ABZ-WIC-ABZ, I mean being an avgeek, why not? But not sure it's a sensible use of taxpayers money if the market can get to INV most of the time without subsidy and with good options. Of course if that were to change and WIC were to have been closed.....?
