Regardless of engines, it won’t be happening (bold print emphasising or not). Outwith a short term rebound boost, even in good pre-covid times the 757’s rarely ran full.
You’ve now got Virgin and WS in the mix taking transatlantic connections.
Apart from UA, American about to start culling their regional Euro summer routes… Make of that what you will.

IMO the VS MCO and WS/AC Toronto flights are a very different summer seasonal market to the Newark flights.
Newark is mainly about onward US connections or NYC so only DL directly competing.
Have you information suggesting that AA will not return to EDI in ‘23?

International Schedule
Not looked at Edinburgh arrivals for while. Great to see a busy schedule again today, 10 scheduled flights from Germany to Edinburgh. As well as flights from every scandi county between Iceland and Finland and those in-between.

April Pax up!
Good Pax number from EDI in April (931,552 pax) which is an encouraging sign of recovery. With more long haul and wide body’s returning then hopefully the recovery will continue.

Agree. Not all airports have reported pax numbers for April as yet. Will be very interesting to compare similar sized English airport by pax number - such as BHX. I strongly suspect Scottish airports such as EDI and GLA will recover much slower compared to airports down south. EDI CEO is on record as saying that Sturgeons complete refusal to engage about a safe return to travel hugely damaged the airport and sector more generally. For purely political reasons, only a few weeks ago, her deputy was suggesting that Scots should not travel overseas in 2022 due to the risk of importing variants of the virus. What chance do you have when individuals in power or with influence continue to brief against the travel sector?

Not sure that data supports your strong suspicion.

When I worked at EDI it was common to see her in the terminal, using commercial flights, like everyone else. Of course she usually had a security guard by her side, but that's only to be expected of any political leader.

I have had a look and all I can see when I type in "John Swinney, 2022 foreign travel warning" are articles from May 2021. I also don't recall seeing or hearing any foreign travel warnings since early/mid last year from anyone in the Scottish Government.

Nice to have something veering towards ‘premium’ as the rest of the main departures is far from it and can often be a bit of a zoo during peak months.

Airport did seam busy this week so surprised that second Aspire lounge has not reopened yet (lack of staff maybe?)
Might try and avoid the mornings with the 5-6 wide body departures 😂
