United
Not a good week or so for United re reliability. 2 x EDI-EWR flights went tech and cancelled. Both 752’s were +20 years old. Both flights were booked full which is great news for the route but not for the pax plans. They have been and continue to be real work horses for United. You have to wonder how much longer they can go on for? Does anyone know what United have planned to replace them and the timescale? With all United EDI routes currently served with 752’s, it will be interesting to see what they have planned in the short to medium term.

They have ordered A321NXs as a replacement. Having said that, some of the B767-300ER fleet are even older but are well looked after and used on core long haul, may be bad luck?

Timetable is confusing with the off set arrival / departure time on different days ….going to be busy on a Thursday during summer with 3 Turkish flights from EDI. Dalaman and Antalya just 5 mins apart.

Agree. Similar schedule strategy to Qatar. Earlier then later departure times on certain days. It’s also very likely they are increasing to daily to mirror and compete with Qatar’s resumption of daily service from June. If the reported pent up demand materialises, I wonder if a certain other Middle Eastern carrier may make a comeback at EDI?

Feb Passenger Figures 2022
I see that EDI had a bit over 514k passengers in Feb this year, I wonder how far back we need to go to find and equivalent Feb figures to this? Airport has felt like it’s getting busier over the past few weeks and more and more retail are reopening which is good too see. Excited to see with a fair number of new routes coming on soon how if the positive trend continues.

EDI-MCO route starts tomorrow. The inbound from Orlando this evening looks very quiet. Less than a third full. The first outbound tomorrow however is very heavily booked. Full in upper class and only a few seats open in premium and economy. Promising start for the route.

EDI-ORD
Route resumption pushed back to 1st July from ORD.
EDI-IAD
Resumes as planned from May. Aircraft upgraded to 764 for May and June. 752 from July.
ORD route I’m guessing has poor forward bookings in early summer months or United have issues with aircraft availability.
Interesting development.

They certainly are, however, when every other station is short staffed it just makes the problems worse.
Doesn't help that training new staff is taking a long time along with the security checks for passes.
