Any chance of some kind soul posting an apron chart showing this stand and associated taxiways?

NATS | AIS - Home

Follow the link then choose Aircraft Ground movement / parking / docking chart.

The zoomed in area shows the oversteer markings from both directions.

Many thanks. It makes it easy to understand the issues.

The last EDI - PEK service now confirmed as 10th October !

Any decision as to whether it will return next summer? I read somewhere that Chinese-UK tourism is up 20% this year.

Doubt it's coming back. Wrong routing, wrong airline. If it couldn't sustain even half loads with a double drop on cheap fares and block bookings, what would change next year? Though in saying that suspect most pax were inbound Chinese who don't seem bothered by routings or cost and airline is eminently more recognisable at their end. Will be interesting to see how the new DUB standalone route does... MAN not exactly flourishing with theirs.

Wizzair?
 
Heard a snippet on the radio this morning about Wizzair operating from EDI. Didn’t catch the whole conversation. Is this true? Routes? Impact on GLA?

Not sure about Wizzair, but there would likely be a small impact on the Glasgow service, if they did start Edinburgh. Also Delta have 90% LF on their Boston route, pretty good for the first season.

Four routes:

BUD three weekly from 21 December
GDN three weekly from 19 December
WAW four weekly from 18 December
OTP twice weekly from 23 December

So much for Brexit! Good news, though suspect its the end of GLA routes. Or an anticipation of a big FR reduction?

inOban 5th Aug 2019 09:04

Three of the four are FR routes and I can't imagine that there's traffic for two airlines.
The economies of Poland and other E European countries have grown under EU membership to the point where they don't need to export their young people, so the business is, surely, mainly family visits. The voids in our labour market are, I believe, being filled from Romania, and from countries outside the EU such Ukraine.

Plane mad 134 5th Aug 2019 09:10

Yeah, looks like Wizzair smell blood as Ryanair look likely to base cut.

tartan 201 5th Aug 2019 10:06

Wizzair press release here which says the routes start on the 1st and 2nd November, whereas they're currently on sale starting from the dates in December listed above.

That's ashame because, properly marketed, there is surely sustainable demand.

Is the DUB portion continuing in its own right? Surely that would be surprising - were loads not consistently better (even though they were low) on the direct EDI-Beijing sectors? I believe the DUB-Shenzhen route loads are extremely poor too.

Plane mad 134 6th Aug 2019 21:21

I could see Wizzair once settled in, opening more routes over time, will be interesting to see how this pans out.

Plane mad 134 7th Aug 2019 08:21

American are due to be making an announcement soon, could Edinburgh have a change, it was leaked they were going to shuffle up everything.

4eyed anorak 7th Aug 2019 08:55

Quite possibly an upgauge to 763/787 or year round service! The Philly route was the best performing North American route from Edinburgh according to the C.A.A. June stats.
When United upgauged their Newark service at Manchester from a 757 service to a 764 passenger numbers jumped! No doubt the all important yeild might have taken a hit!

I'd be surprised if either of these Chinese routes operate from Dublin direct over the winter months neither are bookable at the moment....

In Dublin Cathay is doing well and Hainan launched their Schenzhen route in response to Cathay's Hong Kong. It was a last minute launch without time to get forward bookings in order. Seems like poor planning. The brand doesn't resonate in Ireland, though that doesn't matter the greatest share of the pax will be originating in Asia.

"Days after WizzAir announced Edinburgh @EDI_Airport links to Gdansk, Warsaw, Budapest + Bucharest, Ryanair says it’s winter schedule will add the Romanian capital and increase services into the other 3. Perhaps the traffic of east European workers will step up post-Brexit."
