Re: SunExpress Antalya

It was dissapointing when Sun Express announced this summer's UK expansion and went into LBA, NCL and EDI, but not GLA - so its good to see us catching up.

Without the American golfers, 'we probably wouldn't be here'

A reminder of the volumes of American visitors coming to the west of Scotland and how important they are. I don't like to imagine how much negative impact on this market the lack of any direct scheduled flights to the USA is having. https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/football/24301377.without-amer...

Re: Wizz Air Summer 2024 as of 30th April 2024

Pretty annoying, although it does validate what Christopher Tibbet was saying in the YouTube interview the other day. Let's hope it does indeed restart in October as planned. Iirc, I think the CAA starts showed it carried more pax in February than EDI-OTP, so it would appear there is a resonable dem...
