Edi
According to the TUI flight schedule looks like departing morning and arriving back in the evening.
Still over a year away, lots may happen before then, and with Brexit there may have to be some sort of international departures, or checking of passports customs leaving the UK

I’m assuming you’re responding to the poster suggesting that a 757 could be used on a W-pattern? This will not happen, especially not on such a long route. TUI have no good reason to bring the 757 in for this route and I’m failing to see where this idea is coming from frankly. The based aircraft was going to be idle anyway so it makes no sense.

Steady on ROC10, no need for that tone with me pal. I was only asking if the TUI 738 was able to to fly the new route to Egypt or if they would need to bring in an alternative. The question was answered by others already, was not aware the 738 used to fly the route before. Someone else brought up the W route suggestion.

I was merely mentioning departure and arrival times

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.

When you see how the figures rocketed with high summer with budget low cost carriers Wow and EasyJet, then the numbers seem certainly to be there. Where did those pax all go? One wonders why EasyJet chose not to capitalise and fill all the lost capacity.
With EDIs reasonable summer transatlantic profile, does it need another connecting North American operator to dilute?

Icelandair is expected to announce "a new destination in Europe" in the coming weeks according to the article below. Time will tell whether it is EDI or one of the doubtless many other airports that they have considered serving.

Yes, they operate to North America, but they aren't North American.

I don't think anyone ever suggested Icelandair (which we all know is a European island nation) were North American

Jet2 to Lisbon has not been announced, they pulled out last minute due to fleet capacity next summer. They want to focus on BHX, MAN and STN. Its a good decision though as they would have been struggling against Ryanair and EasyJet.

I heard it from an anonymous source who has told me about some airlines before they announced any routes, Jet2 was on the cards for Lisbon but not anymore.
I know of several other news but I won't be saying those.
In other news Delta will be using premium heavy 757 on the JFK and BOS, maybe in the future this will turn into a 767, thus the reason more premium seats as the demand is there. Source for this was the Delta seat maps.

I have a question re EDI stand planning. I frequently use EZY from/to LGW and the flights frequently use gates 2/3/4. Yesterday afternoon the LGW was on gate 3 and the BRS on gate 2. Not only does this lead to loads of congestion as the arriving pax try to push past the pax queuing for departure (and yesterday the LGW and BRS queues got totally mixed up with each other) but it means that arriving pax have to walk the whole length of the departure lounge to get to domestic arrivals. Would it not make more sense to allocate gates nearer to domestic arrivals for these flights? It was not exactly busy yesterday afternoon - plenty of contact stands available. One other point re the EDI terminal - a nasty pinch point has been created between Weatherspoons and Burger King with pax walking in both directions causing congestion. I'm surprised the fire service allows it.

If it's showing more than 16 seats that would mean a domestic first configured aircraft. I wouldn't class that as a good thing as it's an inferior product that they charge less for, hence normally goes on lower yielding routes.
