TOM618 to SSH

Anyone know what is going on with TOM618 to SSH? EDI website showed it airborne at 10:44 but it has never appeared on Flightradar24. I'm at SSH awaiting the return leg but no information forthcoming.

I can see that. It shows a 3h 30m departure delay here in SSH but there is still nothing on Flightradar24. Typical piss poor communication at the airport. We are unfortunate as we had a private transfer so I suspect fellow pax are still in hotels.

Video of it landing at MAN.

Do TOM have a spare aircraft at MAN that they would swap over to?

Where are you seeing that? On FR24 the only flight bound for SSH near Greece is from MXP.

Cheers. Found it. It's not broadcasting its destination but the flight number is there.

Bizarrely it has vanished again. At least it has on the FR24 app I'm using.

BA starting weekly (Sun) flights to Barcelona and Palma for the summer using EMJ. Hopefully more all be added.

I believe it is the usual holiday flights as to know if BA sell the seats I don't know.
Thought it a bit odd with BCN seeing that fellow IAG sister Vueling operate the route as well.

According to the Barrhead Travel site they are Saturday departures. I've flown on the LCY fleet a few times and also on a charter to CMF with Esprit Ski. Thery are comfortable and very roomy and a cut above the usual TOM and TC charter stuff to PMI.

The only issue is the flights are weekly. I tend to get bored after 10 or so days in the same place so like to keep holidays to around 10/11 nights.

Busiest April on record

Passengers up 10.2% to 928,329

Domestic - 432,820 up 11.2%
International - 495,509 up 9.4%

With AA just starting and with EY in June it's looking good for EDI.
Any updates with the new stands?

Regards 4ea

Posted this almost at the same time as you 4ea haha:

Good couple of weeks for EDI:
  1. AA began regular service to JFK
  2. QR went from 5-weekly to daily on the DOH service
  3. 10.2% growth recorded in April
  4. Norwegian announce a new service between EDI and TFS in Winter 15/16 (2 times weekly)
And less than a month now until EY start their daily service to AUH.

Not sure all is happy with EY, the passenger numbers will make interesting reading come July.

Good grief, I had know idea almost half of EDI's pax were domestic.

I would guess that most of that is to the London airports.

Or perhaps an interesting statistic might be 'What percentage of EDI's pax are NOT going to a London airport?'

Or...perhaps one of the SNP's objectives is to erm....boost the number of eh..'international' passengers
