Edit: I forgot to mention there is talk of WestJet being finally announced this week, woud coincide with what I heard from sources. India was mentioned on another forum too...
But said forum claims a new longhaul route will be announced from EDI this week, any guesses from you guys?

Dublin and other European cities seam to be securing new long haul to Asia.....not much coming this direction with the exception of MAN.
Hate to sound pessimistic are any of the suggested rumours realistic prospects?

Still nothing the rumoured WestJet route, perhaps EDI missed our again as new Halifax to Manchester route just announced. Would have thought they would have announced them both at the same time if it was ever going to happen.

Passenger numbers +2.1% year-on-year in December 2019, +3.1% for the calendar year 2019 to 14,747,830.

As well as ADD, ATL, AUH, BGI, BOS, EWR, HKG, IAH, ISB, JED, LAS, LAX, LHE, MCT, PEK, SIN, YVR. You can't keep looking at it in terms of MAN's win is EDI's loss surely? There's no escape from that rabbit hole.
EDI is punching well above it's weight in some ways, MAN is twice the size and has a much more diverse and international based population, whereas EDI does really well in bringing in the tourists to Scotland whereas GLA does better in taking our own on holiday.

I would have thought that most people will be impressed by the 10% increase in International passengers in Dec, in spite of a cull by FR of some routes for the winter. Only a few years ago EDI was primarily a domestic airport in winter.
As far as TA flights go, I would have been looking not for new routes but for a longer season on most, and upsizing on the NY flights. Without Norwegian, TA capacity in S19 was much the same as in S18, and load factors/fares were high with much business transiting via Dublin or other hubs to save money.

You can though. They only have enough spare capacity to launch one new route - in this case it went to MAN . Although if the business case was there, it will happen eventually, next time they have spare capacity to allocate.

It seems like Aer Lingus will be basing an ATR72 at EDI from Mon-Fri.
Here is the Monday to Thursday schedule (credit to another poster on egph. com
0625 EDI 0755 DUB
0835 DUB 0955 EDI
1025 EDI 1205 ORK
1235 ORK 1410 EDI
1440 EDI 1615 SNN
1655 SNN 1830 EDI
Then on Friday it postions to Cork for the weekend:
EDI-DUB-EDI-ORK-EDI-ORK
Then on Sunday it positions back:
ORK-EDI-DUB-EDI-SNN-EDI
Seems like there is a gap for another flight after 7pm, I wonder if it will be filled?
Also does any other UK airport have a based Aer Lingus plane?

Still good news as it offers good business times to Dublin in the morning and good for connections too.
