That's true. Looking at the Boeing performance charts, it looks like a CO 764 could do EDI-EWR with a full load of 235 pax and maybe 12 to 18 tonnes of cargo depending on airfield met conditions, en-route headwinds, routings, cruise speed, cruise altitude etc provided that the EDI runway is dry. The Boeing charts I've seen don't state how a wet runway might affect these figures but I'd expect that they'd reduce the payload some more.
While you are correct, the amount of cargo carried would be nowhere near the 20+ tonnes that the Boeing figures take into account so I doubt runway length would be an issue to EWR.

Cargo loads from EDI to EWR/JFK?
Does anyone know how much cargo CO and DL carry between EDI and EWR/JFK (and vice versa) on their 752s?

From what I've heard DL carries little/nothing.

Make that fours for EDI. Yesterday an FR 73H from DUB had a bit of a heavy landing which caused it to go tech. It had an engineer sent across from PIK and took a 3 and half hour delay! Not a good day for EDI's limited stand space.
Does anybpdy know what the plans to extend the terminal are?

I have no idea of a timescale or if any detailed plans have even been drawn up yet, although I think there was something along those lines in the masterplan from memory?

http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publicati.../11/27132957/6 has the Gov. info on the expansion plans if you want a refresher of the projections.

Delta 767 diverts to EDI with medical emergency
Yet another emergency at EDI today;
BBC NEWS | Scotland | Edinburgh, East and Fife | Emergency forces Boeing to land
I wonder why they chose to divert to EDI? It's a bit off-track for that flight. I guess it must have been about 10W or perhaps further out over the pond when it had to turn back (assuming it left LGW on time). I hope the sick passenger is okay.
Looking at the safety side of incidents like this, if an aircraft wasn't able to dump fuel (many can't) and was well above the maximum landing weight, would a captain risk damage to the airframe and risk possible injury to the other passengers by performing a dangerously overweight landing (if there is such a thing?) or would they burn-off the fuel before landing and risk the life of the person suffering the medical emergency? It's not a decision I'd like to be faced with but, if overweight landings are dangerous, I think I would follow Spok's logic - the needs of the many outwiegh the needs of the one.
How dangerous are over-weight landings? Obviously the approach speed will be much higher, the undercarriage could take a heavier hit and there's far more weight to bring to a halt.
Is there a lot of paperwork to complete and checks to be undertaken after an overweight landing? Is it a hangar job or just a line check.
In this case they landed at 13:30 and took off again at 15:30 so it must have been an uneventful (less then MLW?) landing. I'm guessing that they must have dumped 10 or 20 tonnes of fuel on the way to EDI to get below MLW?

Reference my last post, I found the following post in the Safety, CRM and QA Forum that discusses the "passenger seriously ill" issue in detail; http://www.pprune.org/forums/safety-...ously-ill.html

EWR-EDI obviously not doing as great as people think. Its down to just daily over the winter, still using the 757-200.
MAN/LHR stay at least 2x daily
All other stations remain Daily

my apologies
I thought it operated 11xweekly in the winter but obviously not, and I was aware that only EDI/MAN were the only 2 non-london airprts to have a double daily CO service

The Ryanair invasion is only weeks away...
MoL will sweep the board with Globespan and Jet2 - let the games begin!
COME ON!
Easyjet will hold their own which isnt a bad thing, allowing for a 'bit' of choice and competition from EDI down to Europe.
Ryanair are VERY reliable and generally always operating to schedule (in EDI anyway). Things do go wrong every now and then, but compared to BACityflyer, Globespan
PS - I dont work for Ryanair or have ANY connection with them, its just the way it is... Cheap, cheerful and on-time
