How? Unless EK intends to add EDI, and bring the competition directly to TK? It's a nonsense to suggest the Edinburgh and East Scotland-Middle East-Asian/Australasian market only travels via GLA on EK. The stats produced by BAA show that only a very small percentage of pax in the Edinburgh airport catchment area are crazy enough to want to fly from GLA.
Maybe TK has figured there's enough of an opportunity to draw pax from EDI flights to LHR, CDG, FRA AMS. Fair play to them too for stepping in while EK, QR and EY apparently keep away.
