What's with the USAF arrivals this afternoon? Are they planning a smash 'n' grab raid on Salmond & Co?

Are their any aircraft viewing areas at Edinburgh, somewhere a mum could take an excited wee lass to see the planes?

No official viewing areas, most enthusiasts use the vast area of what used to be Ingliston Market. Be prepared for a lot of folk there. When Concorde made it's farewell visit, literally thousands of 'spotters' came out of the woodwork . Barely any spaces left at Ingliston and adjoining areas.

Good Stuff Franz.

The 747SP belongs to Fry Electronics of California, it leaves today Sunday.
I believe it carried a Ballet Group or something - nice work if you can get it!
Here's a pic.

Why are we seeing so many VLM F50's in EDI now? Are they operating the AFR flights to LCY?

Don't know about them covering for BE, but they definitely have been operating some AF LCY flights.

They're expanding the whole area, more desks, more floor space.

One can only hope that there will be a whole lot less of the barriers in the immigration hall sending you & your fellow passengers back and forth across half the width of the room like a flock of barely controlled sheep being herded together to be dipped, wormed, sheared and bred to the ram.

Having thought about it now there are some similarities betwen being a sheep & queueing for immigration...............

I'm pretty certain that AF/KLM own VLM so they're probably utilising the aircraft after reducing a timetable elsewhere.

September passenger figure

Up 3.8% at 854500 per the BAA.

The Ryanair effect still helping no doubt.

Online article (can't remember which one) mentions that EDI are to have talks to establish a Dubai service. I am sure it was Dubai specific rather than Middle East but could be wrong.

Flybe Not Moving

Flybe not going anywhere they have a contract with Menzies and it has at least another year to run.
They are very happy with the service at Edi and may well even extend the contract before it should expire.

Alba only handle one airline at EDI globespan . nuff said.

Good afternoon Davy...
I think the point was probably raised due ALBA handling Flybe at GLA. Can't see it myself, but, you never know. Stranger things have happened !
I'll ask the missis !! (She's Supv at EDI.....)
