It'll l be a few months before the Irish CSO make their March 2019 data available. The latest data available for DUB<>PEK is from January 2019 which shows 1,356 passengers compared to 1,666 for EDI<>PEK - I understand that equated to 68% of seats occupied that month on the legs to and from PEK.

April '19 passengers up 4.3% but the press release seems to be preparing the ground for, at best, a reduction in the rate of growth noting that "Winning routes is hard but keeping them is even harder. And when you continue to implement the highest aviation tax in the world, you make it even more difficult".

They could just sit and say nothing but that gets you nowhere.
A politician didn't keep a promise? Bless...
By going on about it, surely they're weakening their position as it implies the only way they would get/keep business is a lower tax regime?

Exactly. You have to plan a business based on facts, not try to change the facts to suit your business. In the current climate APD is not going away or being reduced, manifesto or no manifesto. I suspect the next casualty of the green lobby will be LHR RW3.

Keep the pressure on I say. If we want more direct flights to Scotland we have to, then we won’t need a third runway at LHR.

It's disappointing that TUI don't offer a longer season of flights to Orlando. There are a huge number of pax that take indirect routings from EDI to Orlando as well as many who use flights from Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester and Birmingham.

The tram takes 35mins & the 100 bus takes 30 mins. Depending what time you arrive at the airport, i’d Always take the 100. It stops less and is more direct route into town. Also closer to the terminal.

Don't think UA mid winter was ever full as it was.
