That may be true but also you can't change geography. I was in Edinburgh at the weekend and even during off season the number of foreign tourists was staggering. You are never going to get that in Glasgow to anywhere near the same extent.

So are Icelandair. Does Glasgow have enough of a market to fit both operators?
WOW flew from Edinburgh, not sure about Iceland Express.

Nope just Icelanders doing the shopping run actually.
Far far better recovery and ( lower losses) on the point to point than those transiting
Their fare structure is dire and the management know well enough.

Looks like United starting a twice daily EWR flight from EDI using the old GLA Flight Number, nothing like rubbing salt in the wound, highly unlikely they'll ever be back at GLA now.

Flights still operating from Edinburgh is no compensation for loss of routes at Glasgow

Very probably. AIUI Ryanair's routes from Prestwick are largely a means if rotating frames through their maintenance base there. ie the frame which operates the return flight to Marseille is likely to be a different one. So the flight revenue is less important, just avoids an empty leg.
I wonder if the spare rotations will be used by Easyjet to increase flights to more profitable destinations. They've been saying that bookings on their holiday arm are above expectations

Unlikely. The crew are going to be working extra hard to offload pax, change aircraft and reload catering and board new pax all in their timetabled 25 minute turnarounds at Prestwick.
I live in Monkton and have never once have seen an aircraft changeover there as you describe.

I stand corrected, but of course there's no need for the incoming crew to transfer the catering. That would be preloaded by ground staff who would then unload the incoming plane.
