There is a mistake in there talking about EZY to DUB. It should be GO to DUB.
Two battles are starting, one to DUB and one to Belfast as follows:
EI EDI/GLA to DUB
FR EDI/PIK to DUB
GO EDI/GLA to DUB from 19 Sep
and
BA EDI/GLA to BHD
EZY EDI/GLA to BFS
GO EDI/GLA to BFS
The GO flights to BFS currently operated by a Titan 146 will be replaced by a GO 737 from 19 Sep.
Either there is a huge untapped market or something will have to give, I suspect the latter but we will have to wait and see.
FR have been bragging about the take up on the DUB/EDI flights. If that is true then this would be a strong case for other flights ex EDI or at least additional DUB flights, regardless of the so called "rapacious" charges, as quoted by MOL (which he seems happy to pay at STN!). Somehow I think it is all hype and publicity stunts, something that MOL and Stelios are past masters at.
The fact that EZY, GO and FR are all active demonstrates that a market for budget flights exists in Scotland, the problem may be that excess capacity may discourage all three from future developments.
Any thoughts on the next developments/skirmishes?
