Can someone break down the usual nightstoppers by operator/type?
Not entirely sure on LOG, BACF or BM but it's roughly:

7 easyJet (5 319s, 2 320s)
6 Ryanair 738s (7 for July/August)
6 Flybe (4 Q400s, 2 E195s)
4 Jet2 733QCs (although they're on mail runs at night midweek)
3 bmi regional E145s
3 BA (1 763, 1 A321, 1 B734)
3 BA Cityflyer E190s (although I think this goes up to as many as 5 at the weekend when LCY is shut)
2 Cityjet RJ85s
2 Loganair (1 S340, 1 D328)
1 KLM B738
1 Brussels Q400
1 Sunwing 738 (for TOM)
1 VS A320

Will they use the 767 or the new 787?
Can they get the loads needed for the 767?

The domestic ex United B757s are going soon, not the ex Continental aircraft, they'll be here for a while yet I think.

EDI confirms July 2013 traffic figures

Busiest month ever for Edinburgh Airport as it breaks the million passenger month

Awesome achievement! The busiest monthly total ever recorded by a Scottish airport: 1,082,938.

Annual total now 9.4 million pax. Next big milestone will be the 10 million pax per year. Maybe not long to wait.

Thank goodness. Low 90's at height of summer for high desnity low cost, anything less would have been criminal. Will be interesting to see how loads do next year for a longer season.

Joe,

Good news about Rouge loads, however seen reports that this service is being heavily subsidized by the Scottish Government and they wouldn't have come otherwise.

Wonder if these are just jealous reports from places that don't have AC Rouge or whether there is some truth in it. If the latter is true wouldl they pull the plug when the alleged subsidies end ?

I understand the Route Development Fund used by Emirates to start Glasgow was wound up, as the EU was looking closely at such matters. Is there still an ongoing subsidy outside airport discounts?

Sounds like they're doing what GLA did recently, large security area which is great when staffed followed by being coralled through a Duty Free obstacle course. This is the third retail expansion in a decade, I'd be happier if they fixed the bottlenecks at International Arrivals or the road system. Good news from the new owners though!

I recently saw a FOI reply from Scottish Enterprise that stated EK received some £5.4M ?over the years to support their Scottish route. Would they have come otherwise?

I doubt any monetary assistance from the Scottish government is available since RDF ended some years ago?

Whilst any expansion is welcome, as someone who works in the terminal every day, it's the International Arrivals and check-in area that needs to be doubled in size (at the least) , additional jettys added THEN look at more shops.

Personally I think a satellite terminal - fed by transit or the tram - up at the Gogar end of 12/30 is logical giving greater road, rail access than EDI currently 'enjoys'.

Switching International/Domestic terminals could also be on the cards.

I wonder what GIPs future Master Plan will reveal?

note how often the words "new retail space occur"

really it's a shopping centre extension

Most major UK airports are beginning to look like Malls. Captive customers
being more likely to buy high-end, high-profit merchandise. A nice little earner for airports in franchise fees. A pity that high car parking charges
deter family day outs. In Edinburgh's case, they face still competition up the tram line at the Gyle Shopping centre.
