Don't disagree with the terminal expansion sentiment, however the reality is that the terminal needs a complete rebuild to increase size and capacity considerably and I don't see the land or the money from the owner being made available. (Still waiting to here when the next proposed stage of redevelopment will kick off!! Any clues?) Don't know how much more tinkering with the current buildings can be done or what could be achieved of any significance. Envy the mega million investment into new terminals at Manchester.
We "enthusiasts" and regular users of the airport are rightly keen to see future route development: roll on Norwegian (when they get there 737 Max and available 788....don't think it will be in time for next spring summer) and the fabled promised China links ( if these ever happen??). Also improvements (more flights) to established links like Zurich and Berlin to improve buisness links and tourism would be welcome.
However I personally think ther is a zero chance of EK coming to Edinburgh.
