BA Connect to increase EDI-LCY-EDI to 7 per weekday... Just one question and that is where is the additional capacity going to come from? Half the Avro fleet is in the process of going to Swiss, and the aircraft parking/pax boarding facilities at EDI are diabolical now - nevermind the summer schedule!

Did hear of a possible merger between CB and BE using the Dash8-400 on the LCY route.

Its the Banking community in EDI that is putting the pressure on BA to increase the frequency. One certain Royal Bank of ..... is throwing cash at the route and asking for dedicated facilities at each airport for their staff, including dedicated check-in, executive lounges and ultimately - their own aircraft! Trust me, this has been looked at and is simmering away, pending the quality, reliability and value for money they get from Connect and CB.
