Looking at the Delta booking engine, it seems EDI-BOS is back on sale for S21 from the 27th of May. Will be 4x weekly B767-300ER. Good news if it doesn't change.

interesting to see the DL 767’s getting withdrawn starting next year with not much currently to replace transatlantic 757/767s. Presumably the ‘thinner’ seasonals may lose out.

Even with a daily to 4/wk service reduction, lets hope it goes ahead in some format. Suspect they’d concentrate on keeping JFK viable in the first instance.

SAS

Looks like SAS have cut routes to EDI until further notice.
Are there many options to fly to Scandinavia any longer?

Norwegian to Oslo , Ryanair and easyJet to Copenhagen and Finnair to Helsinki all operate sporadically during the next 7 days AFAIK. No doubt, these will be subject to any changes to travel rules...

Seems EK will not be back at EDI. NCL must be on a shaky leg too. Very difficult times.

Is that a permanent cancellation now? I thought it was only till April?

They must have taken quite a hit with bookings. Most airlines only preliminary cancelling to Summer '21

Lufthansa also announce withdrawal of Munich to Edinburgh and Newcastle for the winter and Frankfurt to Glasgow for the winter

It’s hardly surprising, is it?

Given that the German Robert Koch Institute have placed Scotland and Northeast England on the quarantine list I don't think that's the least bit surprising, the routes are probably quite leisure dependent so will be hit hard.

I would have thought that it was more to do with the collapse of longhaul market. Aren't EZY are still flying the route for the leisure business?

easyJet appeared to have cancelled Munich for October, with 2 per week from November..at the moment.

What I am surprised at is the amount of commentators who seem to think these route cancellations are peculiar to Edinburgh only.

I see on routes online that United have cancelled Newark until 27th March, and even that is provisional. Again, not surprising.

If a vaccine turns up they can add them at short notice

If, if we're being optimistic, when a vaccine turns up the first in the queue to get it will be the usual suspects in the NHS and other critical areas of the public service. The rest of the population (those who earn money and donate corporate taxation to the national exchequers) will be way down the pecking order. That's not to belittle the NHS and public service by the way.

So there will be no justification to raise quarantine or travel restriction for probably 6 months after a vaccine starts being rolled out. On that basis it would seem vanishingly unlikely that any routes suspended until Summer 2021 would come back earlier.

Actually only some the older DL B757/B767 are being withdrawn.

In fact Delta is to retire its entire fleet of B777 by the end of this year.

Confirmed again today JFK to be daily B767 next summer and Boston 4 weekly B767 from May'21

Yes we all know and understand subject to change blah blah

Am I right that Wizz will be operating just one weekly service this winter,to Bucharest? I guess the seasonal agricultural workers have returned home.
