EDI will no doubt benefit from independent owners - yes even BAA! Can you imagine an independent EDI owner allowing all those potential long haul pax
to pass it's front door heading west? Of course not, it will compete.
At the moment BAA are enjoying a monopoly that allows it to encourage Euro
flights from EDI and regular long haul from it's western bed-fellow..one must suspect there has been back-door calming by means of aircraft facilities or
competition assurances.
