Re: Could United be returning??

Mr Dewar even went so far as to say airlines should expand at Edinburgh rather than also launch a route to the same destination from other Scottish airports such as Glasgow If that's what he's saying to the Scotsman, I wonder what he's saying to airlines in private.
