Agree with ezy driver and goEdi. I've been told that EDI would convert to Airbus in Mar/Apr with GLA following shortly afterwords.
There's a reason EZY is going to GVA from EDI and it's probably to do with money. I'm not going to get into EDI v GLA debate so will leave it at that!
The new pier is wanted by no airlines. BA and BD have both said they're not interested in it. It's going to be a long walk and is going to cause problems with pax getting to their gates on time. In addition the apron only has one entry/exit so unless they build another entrance/exit it's going to ba a nightmare just as the exisiting cul-de-sac is.
By making a small pier they've just restricted the size of the airport for the next 20 years. There was a plan for a new terminal where Ingliston Sunday market is. Can't see that happening for a long time so we're stuck with existing gates and perhaps more remote stands and that's it!
Interested in Jet2 pulling off the MAN route. Would have thought they'd have cleaned up on that one since BA/BD have been running EMB145 and Dash 8's there. Can't believe Jet2 were not filling it. Could we see a bun fight between GSM and Jet2 over some international routes?
