Agree they are a for profit company but a bad experience with a failure on their booking engine last week that left my brother €150 out of pocket makes me wonder how long their bottom line will continue to defy the 'Once bitten twice shy' phrase?

Rome and Gothnburg will be axed for good. As EDI doesn't have Milan BGY it may return but not lightly. Pisa should return but not sure.
Ryanair's next flights to LCA will be from Stockholm or Madrid shortly. Ryanair are not allowed to launch flights from the UK as this was part of the deal.

A while back Ryanair said they were focasing on EDI as they charges were low.
Brussels being droped as the route was increased from EDI
It's not a route which would be seasonal.
Gothenburg was on sale but as soon as EDI got the route it was dropped.
Paris BVA being reduced to 3 weekly was 7 last winter from PIK as EDI will now have 4 weely this winter.
Have you a source????
Last I herd Rome, Milan & Gothenburg were cities.

Ryanair are withdrawing City routes from PIK and moving them across to EDI leaving PIK with the sun routes

The "city routes" perfom much better from EDI due to a strong inbound market that Ayrshire cannot match. This is why these routes are moving across the the East Coast. Given that Prestwick started off with the likes of
Brussels, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Dusseldorf, Paris and Rome as city destinations it's pretty clear that the focus for these kind of routes has moved as most have either been drastically reduced or removed as an option from PIK.
New destinations from PIK have tended to be more traditional Scottish holiday routes.

"We are still obviously committed to Prestwick, but we are working very closely with Edinburgh airport and of course they offered us very good charges which for us is of key relevance."
Ah I see. They're not *lower* than PIK but they'll be on a better deal than easyJet at EDI that's for sure! Thanks, that's clearer now.

Are there no other airlines who fly STN - IBZ? (eg. Easyjet, Thomas Cook, Thomsonfly etc.)

The reason is probably why FR have axed their winter flights. Demand to the Balearics in winter is very low and a hard market to make work. So Spanish mainland links for the locals may do OK, and Air Berlin's PMI hub keeps going, but point 2 point routes to mainland europe are a lot harder to sustain
As a comparison Jet 2 don't serve PMI in winter, Thomas Cook don't. Thomson only do in a limited way, Monarch scheduled are only launching their first winter PMI flights this year. While for Menorca their only UK link in winter is Monarch

Some years ago Monarch (ZB), operated flights to pmi, through the winter from Manchester. My last booking with them on a winter trip to pmi was cancelled by them
due to operation reasons (lack of numbers). I have booked for November with them,
but holding back on further bookings to make sure the new flights dont suffer the same fate.
