Indigo are considering long haul (low cost long haul from 2019), Jet Airways and Air India would be the only others but theyve both got major issues.
Cant see any of them in the short term to be honest.
Lets see how Hainan does from the east before getting carried away...

Just been following the Beijing flight as it approached journey's end. Anyone know why it takes such a strange route with several abrupt changes of direction after it crosses into China?
Incidentally the schedule seems very generous. 9h 40. rather than the 10.50 allowed.

Great picture taken yesterday from a helicopter over EDI airport. Confirming the 3 new air bridges are installed, but none looking operational as yet.
Also gives a clearer idea of the profile of aircraft that can fit each of the stands.
Question- Will they ever replace the “temporary “ building that currently houses Immigration 2 and luggage belt with something more permanent? I.e. Give batter access to the two stands next to Gate 11.

Delhi is a very strong rumour and is one to watch out for.
Orlando is certainly a possibility. Virgin hinted they may add more service from EDI - I can see them taking over the Delta flights and maybe adding a flight to Orlando once weekly.

MAN does not currently have a direct flight to India, although there are rumours of that being added soon.

With both Qatar and Emirates soon to be at EDI I am not sure there is much scope for a direct link to India.

Chinese airspace is very restricted, with only a handful of narrow airways in which commercial traffic is permitted - the rest is all reserved for military operations. Most flights over China seem to take a weird routing as a result of this.
Thanks, nighthawk.
I wondered if that might be the case, although tonight's Westbound flight took a straightforward route.

I think the Royal Highland Show was on when the photo was taken, so all the cars parked to the West of the terminal (beyond the main apron in the photo) are there for that.

A charter flight comes in from Zurich every Saturday and returns on Sunday.
One of the based embraers positions to IOM for a charter from there.
There are also flights to Palma for Barrhead Travel and to Mahon on Saturday, and malaga on Sunday morning for tui.
I'm not sure if the Friday am flight to Palma is on open sale, although it does appear on the airport timetable; otherwise the only 'public' flight is the one to Florence.
I think that's most of them, but I'm sure others will correct me.

Thanks. I often wonder why TUI doesn't base a second a/c to enhance their offer to the Spanish Costas, taking over the BA routes, and the space on Ezy to Alicante (and indeed Dubrovnik).

Also surprised that Thomas Cook haven’t tried to muscle into the market either. Maybe the Antalya flight is a first step?
Noted all there new/ expansion routes seam to be at Manchester presently.

Expansion
The terminal extension was completed a few days ago and I was wondering what the next stage of the expansion plan will be. I have the masterplan so I would think it might be extra off terminal stands or rapid exit taxiways, Does anyone know otherwise what it may be?
