If you fight your way through the EDI website to find the route map, Naples Florida appears as a destination (even though the new FR and Norwegian destinations have yet to be added). I assume it's a mistake, but you never know...

Seems a bit random to be a mistake but if you click on it it takes you to book flights for Naples Italy.

Orlando is massively underserved and anyone who plugs that gap will do well, I reckon that's almost free money for whatever airline does it. I also hope for San Fransisco (though it might be Oakland for cost) and maybe Miami (Fort Lauderdale for cost) with Norwegian's dreamliners.

Its a mistake. Naples Fl doesnt offer any regular international border/immigration facilities. It currently only offers limited GA and charter services. The longest runway is barely 2000m.

Two required in the summer for TATL and only one required in the Winter. The second may fly European routes in the Winter.
The OSL flights change in the Winter to EDI based in between TATL runs it seems.

Obviously this D8 frame could cover another route on the other three days, but this still leaves the other winter routes which vanished for the moment.

The article claims there were "several hundred" cheap seats available, which I assume is correct, as vague as the term 'several hundred' may be.
The fact that they go on to then say that "The marketing method, pioneered by Ryanair, has been criticised in the New York Times, which said the airline "offers a kind of bare-bones intercontinental travel that American travellers may be unused to"."
Americans are more than used to "bare bones" air travel. Their airlines practically invented this. These EDI routes are barely 500 miles longer, or less than 90 minutes of additional travel, when compared to some of the longer coast-coast domestic service which all come under the bare bones flights where refreshments, food and bags are all chargeable extras.

I suspect 'hundreds' available were across all the routes launched from all airports. Im not sure you can translate all the US passengers willing to travel mid haul on bargain basement discount dinestic routes to those who'll travel to EDI given a huge percentage of US population dont own a passport.

The new Ryanair and Norwegian routes have now been loaded into EDI's timetable and destination pages. They've deleted the Vueling flights to Orly, but still, after three years, seem unable to load the Edelweiss flights to Zurich. Nor have they updated the New Routes page.
