Other possibility could be on the north-east corner, where the extension was built, which would allow access to wide-body stands 9A/10A/14/15/16, again it would probably need to be an extra floor on top. Fair amount of comment on the "dried fruit network" questioning the viability of it, given the very peaky nature of US traffic and substantial cost of having to pay for a year-round US Customs and Border Patrol facility.
Summer 23 departures will see 3*UA 757*2 764 3*DL 763 VS 333, AC 788 plus TK 332 and QR 788 all morning slots. Current gates 13-16 hosts 13A/B 15A/B where only one of each stand can be used by a wide body and the same for 16/A/B as well as stand 19 normally used by qR and AC in that order.
Gate 4=stand 3A and gate 2/2A are also a wide bodied stands.

United revert back to the 757 to IAD, was only a temporary change this summer. As far as I'm aware Turkish are only operating the A321.
That's like more than double the capacity ... can't see that big a jump .. with LAX I saw on airliners someone suggested it but seems just a rumour from there , no substance to it
like you Al, Id love GLA to be winning Topline destinations. We wont as we all know. If LAX is a starter, it wont be from GLA. Thats the reality nowadays.

Yes and it’s time we stopped worrying about what EDI does. That ship sailed long ago.
Looking forward to talking about GLA for GLA’s sake, especially as I reckon there’s some good news around the corner. Of course it will never be enough. It never is, for any airport.

Word I hear on TK is different; double daily with one wide bodied flight.
The latest gossip about UA is EDI-LAX.
To be more accurate if this ever happened it would primarily be LAX-EDI. Saying EDI-LAX indicates that EDI would control the POS which is nonsense. As an aside a non stop would likely negatively impact connections thru EWR, IAD and ORD for UA and give DL a problem too but why would UA care about them.
Having said all that UA has no great presence in LAX - there are far more important points in Europe not served by UA from LAX.

Yes it would be LAX to EDI but as one who lives and works here in Scotland I obviously stated EDI first.
It wouldn’t be unlikely given transit pax on UA, AC, DL not to mention those who transit European hubs as well as LHR. Well just have to wait and see if rumour becomes fact.
