Only? It was planned to be a seasonal service. So really it has increased by 4 weekly addional flights over what was planned.
It really is embarrassing pathetic the way some people hold grudges against airports. I wonder if bus spotters get their blood pressure through the roof because another station miles away gets a couple of extra weekly services? Absaloute weirdos.

I've seen your posts in other forums re GLA and EDI - far be it from me to point out that you are maybe being a wee bit hypocritical.

Being realistic AF scheduled a daily summer seasonal A318 on GLA-CDG. Since launch the A319 and A320 has been a frequent visitor to GLA on this route. And since then AF has decided to convert the planned seasonal service to a year-round operation.
Realistic facts.
As for your fanboy comments. Nobody in the big bad world of sane adults cares. If you want to discuss EDI or other airports take it to the relevant forums. The GLA obsession for the East really is tedious. Let that be the end of it and leave the discussion to the grown ups and those of who arent driven to depression by a routes success.

Interesting Cape Verde never worked the first time. Presumably the Egypt issue might push more punters towards it. Its a long sector so would need to pay its way. Wonder if a 737-800 would cope when the trip when the 757s go.

Scotland's Airline launches largest ever flight schedule
23rd November 2016
Loganair’s Summer 2017 schedule is “a statement of
intent” says MD Jonathan Hinkles
Loganair, Scotland’s Airline, has today announced its largest ever flight schedule as its services for Summer 2017 go on sale. The new schedule includes new overseas summer flights between Scotland and Norway and the Faroe Islands, together with more flights and more seats on existing routes.
A non-stop twice-weekly service will link Glasgow and the Norwegian city of Bergen – known as “the gateway to the fjords”. The Glasgow-based airline will operate the new route on Mondays and Fridays from May 5 to September 25 2017. It’s part of a sizeable expansion which will also see the airline’s schedule to Bergen bolstered by extra flights from Shetland and new direct flights from Orkney.
Scotland’s Airline has also revealed the first regular service in recent years linking Shetland and Aberdeen with Vagar, the airport of the Faroe Islands, again starting in May. The service will operate on Fridays and Sundays from May 26 to September 3 2017, and Loganair will carefully evaluate demand on the route with a view to moving to year-round operations in future.
Managing Director Jonathan Hinkles said: “It’s always a pleasure to introduce new routes, and our links to Bergen and the Faroe Islands are great news for both leisure and business travellers. I’m also certain that we’ll see Norwegian and Faroese visitors taking full advantage of the wide range of leisure and retail options on offer in Scotland.”
Hinkles continued: “Our summer schedule is a statement of intent as we announce our transition from the Flybe franchise arrangements to become an independent operator from 1 September 2017. As Scotland’s Airline, Loganair is strengthening its network and adding more seats and more flights than ever before.”
The summer schedule, most of which begins on March 26 and for which tickets go on sale today, has a significant number of highlights, including:
· An overall growth of 20% in seat capacity to and from Glasgow.
· A fourth weekday flight between Glasgow and Manchester, plus a new Sunday lunchtime service - providing enhanced connections to domestic UK destinations and the expanding range of long-haul destinations available via Manchester.
· A fourth daily service between Inverness and Manchester, also opening up the wide range of connections available from Manchester.
· An 18% increase in seats between Glasgow and Stornoway through introduction of larger Saab 2000 50-seat aircraft on three of the four weekday round trips - and use of the larger aircraft on selected weekend flights between Glasgow and Benbecula for the first time.
· A third weekday flight from Glasgow to Islay, and a second on Sundays, opening up a wide range of new domestic and international connections to and from Islay.
· New convenient one-stop, same-plane services linking Manchester with Sumburgh and Stornoway, cutting journey times and offering lower fares than connecting flights.
· A second weekly Bergen service from Sumburgh, operating on Tuesdays between May 30 and August 29 and complementing the Saturday service (13May – 02 September)
· A non-stop service linking Kirkwall on Orkney with Bergen on Saturdays between May 13 and September 02 while also operating a complementary Tuesday connection via Sumburgh.
· Expansion of services between Edinburgh and Wick with the introduction of a second flight on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays.
· A new timetable for Edinburgh-Stornoway services to ensure that the route remains commercially viable despite new charges for airlines being introduced by Edinburgh Airport in April 2017.
· Additional weekend flights between Glasgow and Kirkwall - with a new Friday night southbound service from Kirkwall and an extra Sunday evening return flight, coupled to larger aircraft deployed on Saturday services.
· More seats between Glasgow and Sumburgh through use of larger 50-seater Saab 2000 aircraft on one of two daily flights during the summer.
· Developing use of Glasgow as a hub airport to link Loganair’s Highlands & Islands network with its growing network of services to Manchester and Leeds Bradford.
· Continued expansion outside Scotland with the introduction of a new four-times weekly service linking Loganair’s base at Norwich with the Channel Island of Jersey.
Loganair summer services are now available to book at Cheap Flights & Low Cost Flight Tickets | Flybe UK for travel up to and including 30 September 2017. Services to the Faroe Islands will be on sale from 5 December 2016 and are subject to government approval.
