In many ways the mainline A318 is a downgrade on the Hop Embraers particularly in comfort imho.
The A318s have rather hard rigid and narrow seats.
Perhaps the Transavia service to Orly will better mainline on point to point now.

Edinburgh bemoans 'short-sighted' delay to cutting Scottish APD

I've said it before but, regardless of what was in various manifestos, given the traffic growth in Scotland, particularly at EDI, there is no justification for a Government which believes in "progressive" taxation (and demonstrates this by increasing the higher rates of income tax) reducing APD.

I only noticed recently that EZY are keeping the Naples route operating all winter, 2/wk. I'm surprised that more Mediterranean routes aren't continued at some frequency most of all of the winter. There are many people who prefer the Med in winter. I can't think of any reason to go there in summer.

EDI Expansion
Sitting on the tarmac at EDI on a FLYBE flight looking at the new expansion and gates, looking well on with construction. But no sign of the airbidges at Gate 16 17 and 18 A’s per the released images. Have taken a photo or two... now only if I could figure out how to post them. Does anyone have info if the air bridges are coming later.. or at all

No evidence of that. A359 ops plans very much up and running. No 'review of EDI ops' mentioned anywhere.
Default in advance timetables so far in advance might just be 787.
QR is doing well in J and as we know ,QR will throw money at routes indefinitely if needed.

A350 still showing as planned. If you're simply jumping on the fact early S19 is showing as B788, then it will likely have just defaulted to that as it coincides with start of IATA S19 and route was B788 at same stage this year. EDI is not unique in this situation, there are other destinations with upcoming upgrades B788->A350 this year that are still showing B788 for S19, CPH and VIE to name a couple. I'm sure it'll all be updated in due course. It took them long enough to get S18 showing correctly and W18 was only just updated a matter of weeks ago. Give them a chance...

Qatar have no plans to go back to the 787, the test with the A330 went very well. In other words thomas cooks launch to Antalya yesterday went well. Hopefully more expansion soon to follow. Shannon running the risk of being cut, loads not going much abve 50-60

When Continental/United first ran ops at both airports, they soon shifted focus their from West to East, I wonder if the 2nd daily GLA might move East rather than a 2nd daily EDI in the medium term?

EK have shown to still be ahead of the game with regards flights to the U.K. compared to QR & EY. The EDI flight solves the capacity issues at GLA & NCL and the fact the profit comes from the belly rather than SLF. The plans for the A380 at Glasgow will no longer be on the table as we know it’s not good for freight.
Could this be the reason the rumours regarding QR looking at their EDI route, mentioned above? They must be a tad annoyed to think that they’ve seen off EY only to get EK coming in!! Also TK must be wondering also. I know that fans of tail fins will always celebrate new carriers but how big is the market as we’ve lost EY from the Central Belt. If I remember they planned two flights a day when the route was first announced.
