Re: Flixbus

Flixbus are expanding all over the place so I thought I’d write to them with a route suggestion. Sadly I couldn’t find anyway to contact them. Maybe someone else can? I think they should look at adding a regular coach service that routes Edinburgh-Glasgow-Glasgow Airport-Glasgow-Edinburgh multiple ...

Re: CAA Stats - Jan 2025

Except we do need reminded. Couldn’t agree less. Couldn’t care less. I’m sure lots of members would agree with me. It would seem rather myopic not to consider GLA's results in the context of what's happening elsewhere in the central Scotland (and wider UK) air travel market. I'm sure most members o...

Re: Visit Scotland refuse FOI request regarding airline engagement

Despite making these adjustments, VisitScotland has continued to refuse to release the information. This raises serious questions about why they are unwilling to disclose this data, particularly given the potential conflict of interest involving the Managing Director of Edinburgh Airport, who also ...

Re: Aer Lingus Regional Summer 2025 as of 11th Jan 2025

The BHD schedule presumably makes sense now in the context of the LGW flights (credit SeanM for the latter's timings). Crew and aircraft forming the 1900 BHD departure night stop before performing GLA>LGW>GLA>BHD to get back to base then a new crew takes over. So no Shannon (or at least not as a res...

Re: Interesting Movements 2025

Just watched FR1133 EDI-BOH divert to PIK just as FR1132 departed PIK-DUB. Didn't think FR operated PIK-DUB? FR24 is getting confused. FR1133 EI-DYL positioned EDI-PIK for maintenance. RK1133 is the scheduled EDI-BOH flight and is just pushing back as I type. FR1132 is positioning PIK-DUB after mai...

Re: Ethiopian eyeing Scotland

Seems as if they're about to announce some new destinations: https://x.com/SeanM1997/status/1888165736918516152 SeanM also hinted a few days ago that an upcoming change to their MAN-GVA-ADD schedule may facilitate a new UK destination being served via GVA: https://x.com/SeanM1997/status/188750736977...

Re: Edinburgh Airport chief flags North America and China flights hope

Mr Dewar said: “Obviously Glasgow is the closest of our competition. We will be out there telling people that if Scotland is on your radar Edinburgh is the place to be.” The "it's all one market" argument in all its glory. He added: “We have got to show why we are better than Vienna, or we are bett...
