I prefer solid info compared to hearsay
Dusseldorf apparently was 'bought' elsewhere
after just a full year operation the difference between GLA and EDI LH to DUS is less than 10% using CAA figures, which again is remarkable, when given in context

Which is amazing given the flood of seats at EDI on North American routes this summer...

So Gordon Dewars "claims" (as quoted) are factual and based on definite hard evidence, that link you posted suggests not. Smells simply of his now familiar "sour grapes". If you can provide another link to prove this we would all love to see it.
I don't know how you equate two American carriers and a Canadian carrier changing its config to high density leisure, trying to frantically compete by throwing hundreds of extra seats, as EDI suddenly being labelled as "Most accessible and most convenient" - there is no link, unless you have a quote from said airlines that this is the specific reason they have offered these new flights, often running less than 3/4 full during height of summer and usually less than daily.
We'll see what the capacity shift is next year.

UA ORD doesn't start until into June next year, and is only daily in July reducing to 4 times a week in late August and finishing late Sept. So a reduction from this year.

Dewar was just pissed in that article because LH got up and left EDI without telling him and he threw his dummy oot the pram.
For the record NO public money was given to LH to move. LH approached GLA with the idea of introducing DUS to GLA not the other way about. They had listened to their customer base and they noticed that the business travelers using the flights from EDI were mostly going west to Glasgow. It was also worth noting that a large proportion of the leisure passengers were going west to hill walk and to visit the national park at Loch Lomond. All fact not fiction which might upset the anti GLA Joe Curry.
It should also be for the record that GLA management had been and still are in continuous contact with LH about setting up routes from the city so when they came and said they wanted to start DUS they obviously were delighted. It was the night before the announcement was made public that GLA found out that the service was being moved from EDI not in addition to.
Finally, the EX BAA man Dewar has a bloody cheek going on about public funds for new routes after the cash he got from the Edinburgh council, visit Scotland and the Scottish Government. These parties contributed 6 figure sums to attract United, Us Air, Qatar and Ethiad to start the new routes out of EDI this year so he simply speaks with forked tongue.

In the same period the EDI hub, with 38.46% of the combined EDI / GLA population according to data submitted to the Scottish government by BAA, achieved 49.04% of passengers using the route between the two Scottish cities and Philadelphia. Which catchment isn’t pulling its weight?
This may seem pedantic, but I wouldn't consider EDI a hub. I wouldn't refer to any of the Scottish airports as such.

Will next year's new United service to NCL have a big impact on EDI?

United offering a seasonal EWR from NCL should skim some traffic off from EDI. With a shorter season for ORD next year, do we know if EWR will remain twice daily?

you should maybe tidy up your own house before complaining about others diction!
Facebook update on Atlantic to Faroes. Seemed to struggle the last time on a smaller aircraft and was switched to Shetlands bizarrely. Wonder how this will go if on a A319 twice a week ?

AA to JFK

Obviously buried in GDS as not on the AA website and PHL is still displaying as direct.
United were still double daily next summer to Newark as well as Chicago.
