it may appear as available for now. It can take a few days for system adjustments to filter through.

Also still only seeing high summer DL BOS as 5/wk… where did the daily theory come from?

Westjet will have alot to do to compete.

Air Canada has certainly more brand recognition in Scotland but WestJet has a strong reputation here in Canada as the smaller airline that "tries harder". They seem to be more flexible with their pricing and have a huge following for their discounted companion ticket for WestJet credit card holders. Their onboard service is undoubtedly friendlier than AC but I must admit that personally I'd take a 787 over a 737 Max every time!

Finnair
Not officially confirmed as yet but Finnair expected to change EDI-HEL from year round to a further reduced summer seasonal service. Being reported by others that route may well be dropped completely at end of October 22.

Finnair in normal times always promoted the EDI route and others from the UK as the easiest connection to the Far East and beyond via Helsinki. With this decision it would appear that current load factors and forward bookings are disappointing. Covid, clearly continues to bite and affect confidence. Qatar, hopefully will be able to ride out the market uncertainty and in time grow again from EDI as the Australian and NZ markets in particular recover and open up further,
