July 2023 passenger numbers

Moving Annual Total (MAT) now at 13,378,688 passengers which is 91% of the previous high of 14,768,010 recorded in September 2019. International passengers were 1,147,793 up 29% on July 2022 and up 11% on July 2019. Domestic passengers were 381,036 up 36% on July 2022 and down 20% on July 2019.


Top 10 route increases and decreases.

Worth noting that, for all the talk of a bubble, EDI/GLA<>USA numbers still around 24% (92,000) down YTD on 2018's high point.

July 2023
Total pax - 1,528,829
This total exceeds July 2019 total of 1,506,580. EDI now back to operating and surpassing pre pandemic numbers.
Some approx LF’s on selected routes. United had some cancellations from EWR and IAD in July. Air Canada also had two cancellations.
Delta - ATL pax number exceeds published capacity by aircraft type. I assume some numbers were added from previous month.
Air Canada pax numbers compared to July 2022 down slightly. The Westjet factor/competition being the most likely reason.
Hainan operating at around 75%. Given the short lead in time for the service resuming, will they be happy?
QR - Doha 30,838 or 99%
TK - Istanbul 10,921 or 97%
WS - Calgary 8,242 or 96%
AC - Toronto 14,576 or 94%
DL - Atlanta 13,330 or 99%
DL - Boston 12,345 or 96%
DL - JFK 12,382 or 96%
VS - Orlando 5,953 or 90%
HU - Beijing 3,105 or 75%
UA - Newark 17,991 or 91%
UA - Chicago 10,333 or 96%
UA - Washington 10,743 or 97%

I think, looking at the tail numbers used, DL are operating 2x class 226 seat B763s, I'm guessing you're using the 3x class capacity? This would make the LF for ATL 95%. Also puts both BOS and JFK at 88%.
I wouldn't say AC figures in isolation are likely to be down on last year with a LF like that and no direct competition this year. YYZ is only down overall because Westjet are no longer operating the route.

Wizz Air
Wizz Have decided to stop all operations from EDI. Allegedly a disagreement over landing fees according to some reports. They’ve “re-located” some routes to Glasgow. I wonder how long before they do the same to Glasgow as they do to many airports and use them for a period. Look at Cardiff as a good example. No massive loss to EDI. Will free up slots for other carriers and new routes perhaps….

The key thing for any further growth at EDI is the £ vs US dollar exchange rate. Should the pound strengthen, and to be honest, can it get much weaker, then further growth will be limited. The airport desperately needs a half decent terminal, built from scratch. And that's at least 10 years away, even if planning starts now. I suspect Wizz won't be the last to throw the towel in, given the huge issues with waits on taxiways and the like.
A major driver is not just the exchange rate but the state of the US Economy
But yes, a new terminal should be high on anyone's list - it's been cut 'n paste for far too long
