It's about time we see some expansion at EDI - and in great quantity too!
The timing's perfect -
Edinburgh Airport enjoys busiest April on record | Deadline News
It looks like at least 2x 737-800 are to be moved up to EDI for Summer 2016. The expansion programme is mainly to give greater variety of choice for Jet2holidays, as the routes are mainly Beach destinations. An interesting city addition of VIE is also to be offered - the only other airport LS operate the route is from MAN. Guess it makes sense linking the capital of Scotland to VIE, a route that up until now is not offered from EDI
The 12 New Routes are as Follows:
Blue = 737-800 |
Red = 737-300 (All Based on August 2016)
New Beach Routes Summer 2016:
LS727 Tenerife TFS, B737-800, (2x Weekly - Tue, Sat)
LS705 Lanzarote ACE, B737-800, (2x Weekly - Thu, Sun)

So at last - my once considered 'ludicrous' theory about expansion at EDI, has finally come to fruition. Well Done Jet2!
