The winds aloft over the Atlantic dictate the NATS OTS ( organised track system) especially west bound, this past week the westerly winds have been >150 knots + some west bound tracks have been North of Iceland, I know of one crew that did SNN from SWF in around 5:05

Faroe Atlantic Airways switching A319 to A320 during fleet maintenance reshuffle for a few dates in April. Looking at previous loads theres going to be lots of empty seats! Surprised its stuck around outwith high season tbh

Typically circa £200 - £335 return when I've checked so the yield should be better than the load factors might indicate. I wonder how much cargo, mail and parcels they carry. That might add to the financial viability. Also excess baggage.

Etihad reduces Edinburgh frequency in peak S18 (August) to 5 weekly in line with other months, disappointing and does this point towards further reductions?
Plenty other UK airports with new route activity for 2018 with TUi, Flybe, Wizz and Ryanair etc; but see very little coming EDI’s direction. Potential to harm growth.....
Apart from Washington DC (at the expense on a Newark rotation) no new long haul.
Does anyone have knowledge of anything new in the offering?

The increase to daily in August wasn't made until March this year, so still time for that to happen again if they want.
As for overall growth, Ryanair are currently +40ish rotations a week for S18 compared to S17 and that will bring healthy growth alone...
Norwegian recruiting for EDI based flight crew so not sure if they have anything up their sleeve, I'm not sure when MAX deliveries are due to recommence?

Actually, apart from Jet2 at STN and BHX, there's relatively little growth elsewhere, certainly not enough to replace Monarch. Wizz have dropped several routes.
The main growth is in routes aimed at inbound tourists.
BTW, Ryanair seem to have pulled the summer Bremen flights.
