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.

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...

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

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.

Ok I know now Hainan have permanently culled the route, They have retained the slots for Dublin but cancelled EDI by the looks of it, Also take this as you want but Icelandair and WestJet are both looking at starting EDI to Reykjavik and Toronto respectively. And before anyone says stop rumour stirring I have an anonymous source,

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.
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.
