I was told by a fairly reliable source and I also notice that somebody on Airliners.net saying its mentioned in an Aviation Daily article which is unfortunately behind a paywall (see the China Eastern to IAH thread).

Surely the population of Shanghai and S China is much larger than Beijing, and it's also the financial centre, so may generate significant premium traffic to Edinburgh.

The 35 links the airport to the Gyle, Sighthill, Gorgie, the Old Town and Leith Walk.

As far as I am aware, the 35 doesn't charge a special fare for the final section into the airport. However the new 200 will, as might be guessed from its special number.

NichCage on Airlines.net has posted this question
"Nice expansion by China Eastern. The question that I have is that how is China Eastern going to fly to Edinburgh? The longest runway at Edinburgh Airport is 8,386 feet. Not long enough for an A332 non-stop service. Landing may be okay, but taking off would be restricted with a short runway 8,386 feet long."
Anyone hazard a guess at how they will get round this? what equipment will they use?
I wonder if and when an announcement will come...

I would suggest that the B789s or A359s due for delivery from 2018 could be used for Edinburgh flights if the A332 is unviable, but remember that PVG-EDI would not require an A332 to be fully loaded with fuel, so maybe the A332 could manage to take off from EDI.

According to the detailed performance data published by Airbus, a Trent 700 powered A332 could take off from EDI at 11,000kg less than maximum take-off weight of 233,000kg on a standard day. PVG is 4,888nm great circle distance from EDI and the prevailing winds will generally assist. That should be enough for a full pax load and a decent amount of cargo.
