Which is horrific, like a shed or prison block. I wouldn’t promote any more of that sort of add-on as a welcome to international arrivals

January 2023
Pax totals and approx load factors for certain routes. United Newark - 8050 - 83% Delta JFK - 5771 - 75% Turkish Istanbul - 10,424 - 96% Qatar Doha - 14,918 - 98% |
Pretty decent considering January is very much one of the lowest seasons.

Can I ask a dumb question, never having landed internationally into EDI? How do they balance UK Border staffing needs vs. stand allocations against the two international arrivals halls? Aren't they by neccesity over staffed vs. one single facility?

The new CEO of Philadelphia Airport has also gone on the record stating that he's working with AA to restore all of Philadelphia's lost routes, including Edinburgh. “Our primary focus right now is to prepare our airport for 2026, and that work starts yesterday,” Saeed said during a recent Philadelphia Business Journal tourism event in Center City. To do so, PHL is working on bringing back routes that stopped flying during the pandemic due to a lack of demand and improving the customer experience throughout the airport. Saeed, who was hired in October to oversee PHL and started in December, said the airport predicts that visitation will recover to monthly 2019 levels in late 2025 and has set a goal of achieving annual recovery in 2026. In terms of flights, PHL is still missing 23 domestic routes and 12 international routes out of the 150 domestic and 40 international routes it boasted pre-pandemic. The missing domestic flights aren’t as concerning, according to Saeed, although he wants to get them back on the schedule. Of the 23 missing, 21 are shorter regional flights served by small passenger planes that were cut because of a lack of demand during the pandemic. As for international service, Saeed wants to regain all of the 12 missing routes in 2024. Specific destinations he wants to see make their return are Reykjavik, Iceland; Edinburgh, Scotland; Manchester, England; Budapest, Hungary; Berlin, Germany; and Prague, Czech Republic. PHL is currently working with American Airlines (NASDAQ: AAL) to see what can be done to put these flights back on the schedule. Saeed believes bringing international flights back could in turn grow the need for regional flights, which partially serve as quick connections to get overseas travellers to their international flights out of Philadelphia. He said the recovery of business travel would also help increase the number of routes and frequency of flights flown to and from PHL. |
In which previous years were there daily flights to JFK in winter, let alone with another flight to EWR?

It would be great to see AA back with a route to PHL. They must be looking at the offering to EDI from both UA and DL and thinking why not! I presume it’s lack of suitable aircraft at the moment that’s stopping it from happening.

Would love to see AA back at EDI and MAN. However, could mean United/Delta may have to cut frequencies as 3x daily to New York, 1x daily to Philadelphia, summer seasonals to Chicago and Dulles too seems quite a lot!

Lack of aircraft AND the knowledge they feed LHR with BA domestic, United and Air Canada lost BMI so if they want market share, they have to use their own metal once more. The formation of STAR and British Midland codeshares saw United pull Glasgow and Air Canada drop to summer only. Even NWA dropped Scottish ops in favour of KLM feed over AMS. The clock turns...

American expect delivery of its 321XLR end of 2023/ early 2024. 20 flagship first suites and 12 premium economy. This will be a game changer for routes like PHL-EDI. A number of this aircraft will be based out of PHL and CLT. They should also have the option of 788’s in 2024, should demand be as good as it was previously on the route.

Point is AA don't need to serve EDI to have market share, DL and UA do. It's often one stop regardless of EDI-LHR-USA or USA-US hub-EDI. |

When was this last the case? Pre Continental at GLA in 1998 surely may have been the one season with nothing, I'd need to check. Was there ever a winter with no scheduled direct US flights in our lifetimes?
