But fact is EDI have secured QR, the AUH airline, AC Rouge, US Airways and an expanded schedule from UA in less than 12 months and now overshadows the long haul network at BHX.
Well said GF I couldn't have put it better. Of course EDI is completely different to BHX. I wasn't suggesting otherwise. What I was congratulating EDI on is a second Gulf route, especially when GLA is just down the road. Given that the tourism and sporting markets at EDI are exceptional I wouldn't be surprised to to see other long haul carriers arrive there in future. Whether EK 'eat humble pie' regarding 'going the wrong way' that is being currently debated on the EDI forum remains to be seen.
Paul indeed here's to hoping!
