Thanks Exasperated, I'd just realised when I posted it that I missed out the VIE routes (I've added them on
). Good to see them expanding, twice weekly to Vienna, almost putting EDI on par with MAN's 3x weekly service.
The updated schedule is as follows:
The 12 New Routes are as Follows:
Blue = 737-800 |
Red = 737-300 (All Based on August 2016)

I too would also envisage that a 733WL will be up in EDI for the ZTH and EFL routes. G-GDFO has been up at EDI already this winter for a few weeks, and her sister G-GDFM is up there now. A non-winglet 733 (not QC) could probably make the route also, but I would think that the 733WL is a better option - better fuel efficiency, greater range... makes more sense!
