oooft ! theres going to be a blood bath. Interesting. Would have thought all these current services would need to be going out full high season to warrant an additional US service.
Has PHL been confirmed as remaining (although still bookable ?)

It would appear that most of the aviation forums are assuming that PHL will be dropped yet it is still bookable. Would it be too much in believing that it will retained for S15?
In previous posts I have thought DL might have tried JFK again but if AA can take a slice of the UA NY cake then all the best them.
What are the chances of UA responding with the 787?

Would expect its safe.
One one of the other forums they seem to know how US/AA should operate. One example is DUB-CLT was due to be scrapped in 2013, 2014, 2015 and guess what they now say it will not return for 2016......
Scotland is the type of place that can easily make money peak season but outside of that only reliables like JFK would work.

Looking through passenger numbers for Milan and Geneva what would be the chances of Alitalia, Swiss starting 3x respectively.
Alitalia are now starting to expand( abeit slowly ) in Europe again with the E70/75. Would that aircraft fit the route for them?

we are reliably informed by the "armchair enthusiasts" that EDI is a whole different kettle of fish now that GIP are at the helm since that last attempts to JFK. Whether that means relaxed subsidies and get them at any cost is unclear...
We'll no doubt find out next week the fate of PHL after one short season

“Among other things, we were persuaded by the opportunities for onward connections at Edinburgh, particularly to London, and by the airport’s ability to service a very much larger catchment area,”
That flies in the face of those who doubt EDI is a hub?

BA see LGW as point to point leisure, it's not really a hub. This is why BA are happy to bus arriving domestics to arrivals bypassing Flight Connections. The removal of INV/MAN/IOM/NQY/PLH in recent years has only made that worse.
The most serious hub operator at LGW might even be Norwegian who are trying to actually build a hub, remembering the dominat carrier EZY don't even do connections. This is why LGW's current "Obviously" campaign is laughable.

Suffice to say, EDI isn't a hub. The Hub and Spoke model is pretty simple. Practically all airports offer onward connections, depending on where you want to go. It doesn't make them hubs.

I am prepared to be corrected but IMHO the slots were awarded to Virgin and if they elect to stop using them the slots revert to IAG so I don't see how EI could continue the EDI LHR service.
