Edinburgh-4
On the examples you gave, some are Oneworld hub to Oneworld hub :
CLT-DUB/MAD and DFW-DUB so not comparable.
American used to have a massive European network, the biggest of the US airlines and they dismantled it on their own to funnel traffic across LHR when they got the metal neutral JV. United and Delta need to serve EDI on their own, AA can easily serve the market via BA with one stop to DFW/ORD/JFK/PHL/CLT/ SEA/LAX/BOS.
Would I like to see AA at EDI? Yes. Do they need to serve EDI on their own metal to hold market share? They had reasons of their own for running down MAN from 4 x daily ORD/JFK/PHL/CLT to nothing and then not hanging onto EDI-PHL.
Any return of American is likely the point that someone else downsizes, net new can't go on forever, bubbles tend to pop.

If Manchester was so important, I’m sure American would’ve allocated one of the 26 aircraft they currently use to LHR every day to it. But it’s not. Never has been, never will be. To any US carrier.

You are taking my words out of context to throw **** at Manchester. It’s unlikely in itself that either will be relaunched by AA opinion, all I was talking about is PHL airport wanting AA to resurrect these routes

A source at the airport informed me they believe the application to extend isn’t actually for more security lanes. The additional space will be used for an expanded queuing area. This would reduce the number of pax lining up outside the security hall and on occasion stretching back down stairs into the check-in area.

I believe there is also £77million earmarked for terminal expansion over the coming years up to 2030 as well as alot of other investment for other parts of the airport.

Expansion is desperately needed, a flight on Stand 11/14 is often delayed for flights trying to disembark into IA2 or incoming coaches offloading passengers into IA2. Really poor infrastructure and doesn’t really enhance the passenger experience or perception of the place when you are caught up in it.

Air Canada have increased their capacity to Toronto during the summer.
Every little helps.

yes been in booking engine for a couple of months now. A flood of seats up against WestJet. Be interesting to see who does best and if maintained for next year. AC should do ok with alliance connections. WestJet im not as sure.

I think AC and WJ are serving quite different geo markets. AC to Toronto and points east (but difficult connections at YYZ.) WJ to Calgary and all points West with quite easy connections. Even if flying to the same destination I'd choose WJ over AC any day.

Latest OAG indicating Virgin EDI-MCO route in 2024 will start 3rd April. Much earlier than this years June re-start. A351 is the operating aircraft. A long way off and with Virgin being unpredictable, let’s hope it happens. Presumably, Virgin will look to capture the Easter get-away crowd.

Air Transat is increasing GLA to YYZ from 2 to 3 weekly. A belated reaction to Air Canada going almost year round at EDI? Plenty seats to/from Toronto in W23. I wonder if pax will see the benefit with lower fares? Expect to see some additional marketing from AC in the weeks ahead.
