Sorry, I didnt understand most of that.
I think you are suggesting that this route will be such a success that they will expand to include St Petersburg, and this will encourage Aeroflot to open similar routes in competition.
Wakey wakey I think you are dreaming. The demand for at least 3 Russian services from EDI alone just isnt there. Services would expand at other UK airports first.

Quite right GW76- Transaero plan to start a Moscow - Manchester service in September of this year.
Oddly enough, while Manchester appears on the Transaero website as a destination, Edinburgh does not.

Look at the user name of the author of this suggestion.
I think it might be a gentle p*ss take of the real Joe, whose enthusiasm for everything EDI is well known and why not.
I have used EDI several times and I always enjoy travelling through on my trips to the Scottish capital itself.

Joe Curry is something of a legend! 
I like to see someone else so enthusiastic about EDI. Plus he has a good website on EDI!
I think Transaero to Moscow will be quite sufficient!
Maybe a frequency increase indeed, if they are planning on also targeting business passengers.
Can't see Manchester or Edinburgh on their website, just London.

By the Lord Harry, GoEDI, you're right!
There are indeed two versions of the site - "frames" and "no frames". You'd expect the content to be the same on both, though, wouldn't you?

I'm sorry is it me or is it painful to read these posts with the spelling error's. I am not saying any of us are perfect but can it be that hard??.
Anyway I think this is all pie in the sky how on earth could a flight from Moscow to Edinburgh be sustainable??. The Russians are not exactly the richest in Europe why would they want to holiday in Edinburgh when they could be sunning themselves in the med. How many business people would need to make that trip??

Transaero now have the EDI flight programmed into their flight schedule on their website. According to Amadeus it will be a 73G, of which Transaero operate the -700.

According to the BAA news release
(Transaero Airlines will begin a weekly service in June, flying on Wednesdays to Moscow's Domodedovo International Airport. Russia is a new destination for Scots business and leisure travellers from Edinburgh and the city of Moscow is a welcome addition to the exciting choice of cities now available direct from Scotland.)
This news release is rather optimistic, especially the idea that it will be used by businessmen, what businessmen will wait a week for a return flight!!!!!
Seems to me to be just a charter service which will be used by holidymakers on package holidays and nothing to get too excited about. Sorry!!
