Edinburgh-3

[Plane mad 134]

Well as it stands the current EDI schedule is:

· BA daily LHR
· KLM daily AMS
· FR 4x weekly DUB
· AF 1x weekly CDG

Currently scheduled to resume soon (Subject to change):
· AF increase CDG to 2x weekly from Tuesday 12th of May.
· W6 resume WAW 1x weekly from Tuesday 12th of May (increases to 2x weekly from the 18th of May).

Apparently American Airlines have loaded their schedule for EDI from PHL next year according to another forum.

LCY returns 1st June too, 3x daily with early morning departures both ways.

After checking out AAs booking system I've noticed that it's still scheduled as being operated with a 757, despite being permanently withdrawn by AA. What type will operate the route now? One of their A321neos or 787-8s perhaps?

[4eyed anorak]

I'd think it'll be the A321neo.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but do AA's A321s have lie flat beds? I think the premium transcontinental ones do but Edinburgh wouldn't justify that much demand. I'm sure I read in the past that AA had to provide flat beds as part of the BA joint venture?

Delta pencilled in to start JFK on the 2nd July with daily 757.

We don't even know if we'll be able to go see a friend for a cup of tea on the 1st of June. Never mind 3 daily flights to LCY...

[VickersVicount]

why not when LHR and LGW are freely operating? Not outwith realms of possibility.

[willy wombat]

What LGW is operating? I thought EZY not flying at all and BA have very publicly discontinued all LGW ops for the foreseeable future.

The airport has 'refreshed' its website but not updated the content. The timetable page is still showing the pre-lockdown schedule!

I am wondering what is going to happen when Boris starts to ease lockdown from Monday (Doubt it will include air travel) and Nicola Sturgeon has said Scotland will remain in lockdown for a further three weeks. Are we always going to be three weeks behind and if so how will that impact on air travel from English airports to any in Scotland. I thought we were supposed to have a four nation approach, into lockdown together and out of lockdown together. Im just intrigued why do we have to be different up here ?

With United joining American in withdrawing the B757-200, I wonder if we’ll not see them back til summer 2021?

Whilst I wouldn't deny it is a high possibility, care to share with us where you got the info UA are definitely retiring all B752s, as I must have missed that announcement? Or are you just jumping to conclusions based on the recently published displacement bids?

It’s all over FB as well as pulling long haul out of LAX. The B757-300s are not all going but they don’t have transatlantic range. So it’s gonna be B763s for Scotland or a pull out.

If the rate of infection is such that removing lockdown in England is safe but removing lockdown in Scotland and / or other countries of the UK is unsafe, will the Westminster wait until it is safe to remove the lockdown in all parts of the UK or will it impose whatever policy best suits England upon the rest of the UK regardless of the consequences? What if Westminster acts recklessly in lifting the lockdown for political and economic reasons before it is safe to do so? What's the point of devolving power over health if Westminster can impose policies that go against what health and scientific advisors consider is the best course of action for protecting the Scottish population from the pandemic?

United are pencilled in to restart the Newark service on the 24th October this year. Will this be with a 757? If passenger levels grow to pre-Covid levels then they'll have to use a 763.
As stated earlier American are starting next year. That'll surely be a A321N?
Delta are due to restart again 2nd June this year with a 757. With them being the sole carrier across the Atlantic this summer could we possibly see it being changed to a 763, extra frequencies or, dare I say, 777?

Bit chippy. You could equally say that if the R number is higher in Scotland because the Scots are not practising social distancing as well as the rest of the UK, why should the rest of the UK suffer extra unnecessary lockdown, not that I would say that, of course.
