Runway / International Terminal Facilities / Stands at EDI
I'd be interested to hear opinions from any pilots / airline ops staff whose airlines currently (or potentially might) fly long haul from EDI as to whether the runway length / international terminal facilities / stand size & availablity are impeding long-haul growth at EDI.
It strikes me that there's lots of demand for more long-haul ops from EDI but I'm not sure whether the airport facilities are up to accomodating it as the runway length prevents MTOW departures in most long haul aircraft and the international stands and terminal facilities are inadequate.
I'd have thought that EDI could support a similar long-haul route network to Dublin given its status as a major financial centre and a popular tourist destination.
