BM @ EDI

BM look as is they are planning to make changes to two routes operated from EDI.

The first route is ZRH (posted weeks ago on this thread). There are no flights available to book on the route from the end of October. Is anyone able confirm if the route is being dropped or just suspended for the winter?. BM will have competition on the route if it does resume for S14. Edelweiss Air, who are owned by LX, have today announced that they will a add a 2 x weekly A320 service from 12th May 2014.

The second route is BRU. BM will reduce the frequency from 18 (W12) to 11 x weekly from the 3rd of November and the route appears to be being dropped altogether from 31st of December as flights are not available to book after that date. This means BM will start 2014 operating just CPH and MAN and what looks like 1 based aircraft.

A MAN based aircraft is to operate all MAN flights apart from the 1 Sunday roundtrip and a GLA based aircraft operating 1 of the 2 weekday flights.

That leaves the EDI based aircraft to operate daily to CPH and a Sunday service to MAN. That means the aircraft will be sat doing nothing until late afternoon every weekday.

Does anyone know if another route is planned for EDI or is this the begining of the end for BM's EDI base?
