Dont recall Canadian Pacific operating out of NCL ? Interesting to see the GLA TS flights maintaining the same schedule 2015 as this year with 5 flights a week to YYZ with no reduction despite Air Canada at EDI. Just shows the demand is there from the North and East, yet NCL has none ?!
The regional Canada market is literally a "dying market" as the majority of the business consists of visiting friends and relatives (VFR) traffic.
VFR requires relatives at one end or the other, as as the first generation emigrants die, as the inevitably do, the connections with the "mother" country loosen. When the next generation (those born in Canada) have died, then the following generation often has little or no contact with the relatives on this side of the water.
Edinburgh is a different kettle of fish, as it is an inbound tourism destination in it's own right. Scotland generally had more emigrants to Canada proportionately to the rest of the UK.
I'm afraid the Canada market has had it's day, apart, inevitably, for London, Glasgow and possibly Manchester.
Similar will happen with the Polish market in 50 or so years - if we're still flying by then!!!
