Edinburgh-4

[NotanAVGeek]

Quite a lot of diversions around as to be expected.

FR had 2 DUB flights return to EDI after failing to land.

Also an EZY GVA-BRS flight diverted upto EDI

EDI-BRS diverted to CDG.

I read on another thread EDI and NCL not accepting anymore diversions but appears the EZY LTN-EDI is now going to NCL

I noted a Ryanair flight FR2970 TFS-EDI last night that ended up in CGN (Cologne, Germany!)

That was the first of 3 Ryanair flights which diverted to Cologne.

Even more strangely the DUB & SNN - EDI both ended up in Germany.

A lot of disruption today no doubt with aircrafts and crews out of base.

Fair play to Ryanair and EasyJet who are operating flights as overnight delayed rather than cancel them. Ryanair operating a few flights with lengthy delays as operating with non based aircraft (in reverse)

Startup carrier Ecojet hiring ATR crew for an EDI base. Targeting a Q2 launch date

First Electric props, then Twin Otters, then Dash8s and now ATR… I smell a Global Airways…

I'm not so sure that the plan has changed at all. This looks like a "genuine" commitment - https://zeroavia.com/ecojet/

Have they secured the slots for EDI- SOU to take on Loganair?
Are they launching with Twin Otter or ATR42? (Conventional fuel to then convert when engines are available)

No AOC yet so no word on slots. Adverts are only for the ATR 72 so maybe DHC6s will only be when Zeroavia conversions are up and running?

No change to what they originally stated that they would have a mix of twotters and a 70 seater a/c type, first choice was DH8 but have opted for ATR72 presumably because they're still being made and you can get parts for them. The power trains have been committed to through ZeroAvia and they are recruiting a start-up team and have now moved on to crew recruitment. Quite a different approach to Global who have lots of advisors and no real staff plus an aspiration to take Amex and serve Laurent Perrier to their passengers......

[Flightrider]

I'm guessing that they have also hired someone in Revenue Management then

I am really baffled by this one. EcoJet. It's no more "eco" than anyone else flying ATR72s with plans to transition to hydrogen power via either the ZeroAvia or Universal Hydrogen programmes - there are many. And it's not a "jet". Isn't this rather like British Airways painting "American SpaceRocket" on the side of its aeroplanes - it's neither American nor a space rocket?

Potentially new changes to Edinburgh and Glasgow airport air routes.

Major changes to Scottish air routes to be unveiled by Edinburgh and Glasgow airports

https://www.scotsman.com/news/transp...rports-4494958

The next step towards Scotland leading the UK in the biggest changes to its airspace for 70 years is launched this week with views being sought on a move towards “quicker, quieter and cleaner” flights.

It comes as part of the countdown to detailed proposals being unveiled by Edinburgh and Glasgow airports, which are expected to include plans for shorter journeys to and from London by re-routing aircraft along the east coast.

The move is aimed at creating more direct routes between airports to cut delays, noise and emissions. Many routes were established in the 1950s, based on pilots being guided by a series of ground-based beacons that were often not the shortest. They also involved routes converging at certain points, causing congestion.

Detailed design options are being worked up by Scotland’s two busiest airports, but their complexity has delayed publication for up to a year until late 2024.

The body overseeing the process for the UK Government will on Monday embark on a “public engagement exercise” in Scotland ahead of publishing a masterplan for the project. This is designed to help people understand the process.

The Airspace Change Organising Group (ACOG) said it would focus on airspace in and around Edinburgh and Glasgow airports below 7,000ft. Separate changes are planned for higher-level airspace by air traffic control firm National Air Traffic Services.

Scotland is in the vanguard of the changes, which will be repeated in three areas covering the rest of the UK.

ACOG head Mark Swan told The Scotsman: "I suspect all eyes will be on Scotland to see how this plays out over the coming months. This is a big signposting exercise, preparing the ground so people can be really well informed as to how best to have their voice when it comes to the consultations that the airports are in charge of.

"If we want increased capacity, flight efficiency, and quicker, quieter, cleaner journeys and reduced delays, this has to happen. Otherwise people just won’t get the flights they want.”

Mr Swan said if nothing was done, by 2040 one in five flights would be delayed by more than 45 minutes.

An ACOG spokesperson said feedback from three focus groups it had established in Scotland showed most people felt there would be an increase in flying in the future, but were concerned airspace was reaching capacity. There were also worries about the impact of delays on tourism.

The spokesperson said: "Around 80 per cent said airspace modernisation was a good thing to do for Scotland. There was broad support for why we need to do this and the potential to reduce emissions per flight because of more direct routings.”

A spokesman for Edinburgh Airport said: “We’re fully engaged in the process to modernise the skies above the airport and we will take a range of options through a public consultation later this year. This will help shape our final proposal.

“By working closely with our Scottish cluster partners Glasgow Airport and NATS, we’ve been able to identify changes to airspace infrastructure that will meet our criteria of modernisation whilst reducing the noise and carbon impact of flight paths across central Scotland.”

Any more info on ecojet

What variant of the ATR72 will it be.
Is it just Edinburgh - Southampton - Edinburgh, is that the only route proposed so far.
Just wondering 🤔

Pre early 1993, Southbound departures off 05 always turned right, now they're flight planned left into a climb to the West on the NORBO SID before turning South. Basically it's like a giant one way roundabout as GLA and EDI traffic was getting in each others way by 1992. I am not sure it ever worked efficiently since then but ISTBC. Of course you get a right turn if traffic is light and Scottish say yes.

Back to Edinburgh, I've often wondered why southbound departures off 24 do a short swerve to the right after take off, then a turn to the left a few miles on. Any ideas?
