Edinburgh-3

[Plane mad 134]

Oh sorry i didn't see that, I also read a report that Flybe are not happy with the relationship with Edinburghs management, doesnt seem good as Flybe are saying they want to expand there services.
Article was the Scotsman.

+5.8% in September. MAT just over 14 million.

Any likelihood of Eurowings deploying the Munich flight to another destination such as Hamburg or Hannover or do folk think LH mainline will just be a direct replacement?

[Plane mad 134]

Regarding the Eurowings flights I dont think there will be any new routes as it was meant to be a direct replacement but I wouldnt rule a replacement flight out entirely. Also some news regarding rumours :
United have ended their Hamburg service on B767-300 maybe Newark will change to this from the 757.
Flybe are intersted in starting new routes but are currently unhappy with management at Edinburgh.
Westjet also have a spare 767 to utilise and this may be on the rumoured Edinburgh flight.
Air Canada also rumoured to be starting a year round service on MAX8 but very unlikely in the near future.
Best regars.

possibly. LH are moving all, I believe, flights the start or terminate at MUC and FRA to mainline. All others will be EW.

Read it somewhere but cant find source.

Hurghada and Malaga ex EDI as winter only W19. Not sure if replacements for others/previous or if truly expanded winter program.

Where are they thinking of going? Surely any grievance they have with EDI management shouldn't really stop them from developing new routes, serving customers and ultimately making money and growing their business. If they can't settle an argument with an airport then the airport will just find someone else to serve those routes. What is it that BE are bringing to the table that they think they deserve to have special treatment?

In the Scotsman article referred to in an earlier post they argued that, as a major feeder of pax into onward flights, they deserved better than to be regularly made to park in distant stands and their passengers bussed. They didn't feel valued.

The Scotsman regularly has anti-EDI articles anyway, but that aside, FlyBE are not really boosting EDI's long haul routes as for every plane load that brings connecting passengers in, they are also taking passengers away to LHR, BHX or MAN to connect onwards too, so in reality they almost cancel themselves out.

It is far more logical, surely for BE to park remotely and have 1 bus come to collect their whole aircraft and deposit another full aircraft back rather than another bigger aircraft park remotely and require 2,3 or even 4 bus trips?

If Eurowings are starting Hurghada and Malaga as new winter destinations abroad then that is a first in time they operate to somewhere that is not a base or focus city from a UK airport.

Now that FR have launched their German program we can see that Hahn ends this month and doesn't return in the summer, while Weeze does return but only twice weekly. Baden Baden (2wkly) and Hamburg (4wkly) as S18.

Edelwiess fly from ZRH to EDI and INV

[inOban]

Edelweiss fly twice a week at this time, once, Saturday, in winter, up to four times a week in summer. Ok, not much use if you you have to visit head office for the day, you'll need to fly via LCY or another London airport.

[jfy1999]

Delta to add a seasonal daily Boston for S19 on the 757.

[VickersVicount]

Amazing! Just whats needed. BOS was missing from Scotland.
A summer seasonal should do fine.
What are the BOS commections like?
Wonder what the confirmed timings will be- as EDI is already jam packed.
Though lots of space now minus DY !

[Plane mad 134]

Definately great news I heard that this would happen and Im glad to see it go through.

There are other options to ZRH from EDI that don't need a london airport.

AMS, CDG, FRA, BRU or DUB would all offer something, probably cheaper and better quality than anything through London as well.

Good news about BOS.

Boston starts May 24th.

[A350Saltire]

Wonderful news about BOS and great for EDI after Norwegian pulling out. I wonder if B6 will ever start their own TATL services from BOS or have DL beaten them to it by starting to offer more international routes from Logan.
