I think there's a lot of hype,
PR & spin being put out about hydrogen-powered flight at the moment. Don't get me wrong, I think it'll definitely happen at some point and I think it's the way the industry should look to go after SAFs, however any notion of having hydrogen-powered 'Twotters' flying in 2025 is frankly for the birds. Remember, it's not just about having/operating the aircraft - airports will also need to have the relevant infrastructure in place too.
I do agree with your view about EDI as a base and
Flightrider's earlier point about any
commercial deal for a second operator to join onto the EDI-SOU route surely being granted to easyJet and not Ecojet.
