The precedence for Glasgow doesn't bode well for Edinburgh, although with a Q400 it might be the right airline with the right aircraft for the route. I hope its a success.
I would say that EDI is by far a more popular destination and besides this the Galway/Edinburgh route is up for grabs and given that Galway has most challenging financials and rumours abound that it may not survive in these times, I can see the in the first instance Flybe will attract many of these passengers and this coupled withe fact that Aer Arann in the guise of Aer Lingus Regional at Shannon will ensure that the Galway route is further distressed. I think EDI NOC will do very well.
