Edinburgh-3

[Plane mad 134]

Norwegian are suspending all B737 MAX8 operations, so Edinburgh routes to America affected. Also UK CAA have banned all MAX operations into and through UK airspace.

It stops in two weeks anyway, even though some of the fares in the final weeks are quite high, suggesting that loads are decent.

[inOban]

February traffic up 11%, both domestic and international.

[Plane mad 134]

Thats great news, and with all the new routes for S19 I think this will be another record breaking year.

Laudamotion to start Vienna flights!?

3 weekly from October

Have Ryanair finished loading W19 flights? Because if so, they're dropping STN. FR have become so dependent on ancillary income (priority seats, extra bag, scratch cards etc) that it must be difficult to make a profit on commuter flights.

[Plane mad 134]

Good to see Laudamotion at Edinburgh, This is a good addition. And Ryanair are just finalising their W19 timetable the now, and I expect Stansted will be loaded up soon.

Today a Ba Cityflyer plane from London city to Dusseldorf, made an accidental landing in Edinburgh after the incorrect paperwork was filed.

Wow air flights are canceled to Reykjavik as the airline is filing for bankruptcy.

I would have thought that there might be a reasonable prospect of Icelandair opening an EDI route once they have sufficient aircraft flying again.

[chaps1954]

Have they, they still have the MAXs grounded

[inOban]

Would Icelandair start flights from EDI in competition with their established service from Glasgow? Doubt it. More likely that EZY increase their service.

[willy wombat]

I was thinking more that with Norwegian having thrown in the transatlantic towel and Wow going, there might be enough transatlantic traffic to support ops from GLA and EDI.

Just seen a Loganair E135 at Edinburgh, seems it will be operating some services.

If it's G-SAJR it is flying from Norwich

[Plane mad 134]

Yes it was on the Norwich run, nice plane to see though, Livery looked smart.

A few new services this week
·Loganair daily to Islay
·Ryanair 3x weekly to Luxembourg
·Qatar begin 8th weekly service
·Flybe add 5th daily Heathrow service
·Lufthansa add 3rd weekly service to Munich

Along with this American will start their daily Philadelphia service on B757 and Ryanair will add 2 weekly service to Billund, this will require an 9th aircraft to be based.

All this leads to some healthy growth after the recent reductions and cuts.

[inOban]

Surely the Munich is a cut since it replaces a daily Eurowings?

[4eyed anorak]

I thought the Lufthansa service was to operate alongside the Eurowings service?
