Does anyone have the S20 initial coordination report for EDI? As I it doesn't get posted and you have to request it, So was just wondering if anyone has it?

Given QR DOH CWL loads barely into 60's presumably EDI after many years ops now up into the 80's ? Still a lot of empty seats (even if J busier)

EDI is consistently no better I don't think.
Would be fascinating to see how other QR routes do across the globe.

Given you bring this up on a regular basis I think you already know the answer... I think we have all learnt by now that, outside of peak travel times, loads on QR's UK regional routes are not the highest... The 12 month rolling avg is currently 70% at EDI. Not sure how that compares to other UK regional routes, but capacities all vary anyway...

Loads for Oct appear to be BHX 71%/MAN 65%/EDI 63%/CWL 50%

The LFs say nothing about yield and how profitable the route may, or may not, be...nor how valuable it is to QR's overall hub operation in terms of adding volume.

EDI has gone from B788->A359->up to 10x weekly A359 in a relatively short space of time. Growth is still good, as long as the route keeps growing into it's recently added capacity over the next year or two, that's the important thing.

QR still growing whilst also competing with EK now at EDI who had an 80% LF in October.

QR must surely be gaining business pax from their membership of OneWorld, with frequent flyers collecting Airmiles.

Missed this from earlier in the month. I didn't realise the bus route was doing that well.

Very interesting, there is what looks to be a proposed new terminal area as well.

Intriguing why they are using outdated plans and aerial images that don’t show the newly built terminal extension. Think the outline plans for a south pier extension have been around for a while but don’t see that happening any time soon. I thought a extra pier on the new extension towards the old runway was more likely if at all. Not much insensitive to expand if no foreseen growth in passengers or flights. Much talked about increased capacity for NAM flights with WB aircraft so far has not materialised for example.

Disappointing that they designers are actively avoiding a duel carriageway, but then again this might clever move to help get it through planning as it would potentially meet less resistance.

The proposed road, and the new stands recently constructed, all seem a little short sighted to me - they are cutting off a lot of land. Would they not be better routing the road along the current perimeter fence, then at least they can use the old runway as a taxiway, and use the land over the far side for aviation related services (remote stands / hangers etc?)

They're not leaving themselves much land for expansion in the future.

I agree. It appears this road alignment is designed to maximise space for ancillary and non-aviation use. It seems very short sighted.

WestJet and Icelandair will have been looking at doing that for years, the market is reviewed annually, but it doesn't mean they're launching EDI. It would be news if they *weren't* looking at it. WestJet is going to be constrained by a lack of B737s as there's a chance they will be MAX-less going into the summer. EDI-YYZ has always been an odd one, Worldways made it work then Transat but it just died out and Rouge still split Scottish ops with GLA 3 days a week and EDI on the other 4.

With all due respect, it's still a rumour until there is actual confirmation.

Exactly correct. I've pointed this out before to PlaneMad. This is just more fantasy made up on the spot rumours from the EDI fantasist.

PlaneMad has an obsession with posting made up rumours about Icelandair and WestJet adding EDI. He's made the same post many times over the last couple of years. Never has there been any substance to it, nor has it ever came from a reliable poster. I can only presume that this posters obsession with these two airlines comes from the fact that the airlines already serve GLA and not is his favourite local airport.

Textbook Fanboyism.

To be fair - a tendency which doesn't come readily to me - both WestJet and Icelandair have applied for slots at EDI for Summer 2020. They both have done so on previous occasions and have not launched services, and there is nothing to suggest that this time will be any different. However, an application for slots by the carriers does at least indicate *some* passing interest in serving the EDI market.
