Would be even better to see the route continue throughout the winter as well, even if it's on a reduced frequency on the 737 Max.

It's amazing, looking at a map of Europe only Bosnia, Slovenia, Monaco, Vatican City, Luxemburg, Andorra and Corsica aren't served direct from Edinburgh, huge change from the 80's when Amsterdam and Dublin were the only regular international flights

Edit: I checked on SAS and it seems available twice a week (Wednesdays and Saturdays) in August at least. Not sure that’s much competition for the other flights operated by Ryanair, Easyjet and Norwegian.

Great to see, funny I was just looking at the number of flights from Scandinavia today.

I know, I was being sarcastic because if I hadn't said that but said all of Europe was served, someone would point that out as a failure of Edinburgh not having a service to Monte Carlo lol

Jetblue
Lots of chat in various forums about JetBlue UK expansion. A number have expressed a view that EDI would be an obvious choice. I’m not so sure right now. EDI currently commands very good connectivity to US mid/east hubs. If they were to take a punt they would most likely be competing with DL and UA on established routes to NYC. DL - Boston route is also performing very strongly. In my view, UA may look at a Denver service to EDI in the near future. Denver is currently the largest airport in the US by size and is growing rapidly. United have just announced another multi million dollar investment which will mean 90 gates in the next 3 years.

Nope, don’t see Denver (or JetBlue) anytime soon. Think the ill fated ATL might appear again before either of those.
Even BA from LHR to DEN is lacklusture (in gauge, fares, cabin offerings, and availability) so I think thats ambitious at best.

Ideally a year round Orlando and Toronto service would be great also 😉
As for JetBlue - Perhaps a seasonal low cost offering from the NE US may be attractive to different customer base similar to AC vs WestJet?
And will AA return with Philly inS23 when they eventually get more aircraft?

The changes appear to be only for September. I presume they are due to a) aircraft availability due to A350 groundings and b) increase in international students arriving for start of academic term. It seems to revert to a 788 in October.
