Just abroad in the Canaries and catching up on this link. I lived in Glasgow under lord Provost Kelly in the 1980’s and “Glasgow was Miles Better”. I still love the city, but the people of Glasgow have killed it. I parked in the central business district at 3pm on a Tuesday last week, there was no o...

Some good news for GLA. Despite lack of stands, queuing aircraft and EDI terminal being a dump, the £1.3Billion invested by the new French Private equity group Vinci will not be used for terminal improvements, it will be used for bringing forward the massive residential housing project on the old se...

Good points. Although illustrating how daft this Emirates move is, is EDI airports own chat room. Lots of passengers who work in Dubai and main home is EDI, highlighting they don’t need to go to GLA anymore and the evening flight much better for sleeping and timings. It totally undermines the use of...

This is idiotic of Emirates. As highlighted before a lot premier business travellers from EDI would travel to GLA to use Emirates when it was twice daily ( I know as numerous neighbours in EDI did just that) . The same business travellers no longer use Emirates due to frequency and they certainly wo...

Last time I was at Dublin there were 3 or 4 early morning 4.30-6.30 transatlantic departures by Ethiopian. Plus reading an old article online, Ethiopians JFK and Newark flights stop both directions at Lome in Africa. Just thinking/ hoping Ethiopian may have realised the potential for routing these d...

Have GLA got a plan in place, to house the main base for Icelandair, should Reykjavik be shut later this week by volcanic activity (which looks highly likely) similar to what happened in 2010?

Probably FR are getting much better rates than Wizz now they have 11 aircraft at EDI, economies of scale and clout. So FR operational costs on these duplicated routes lower.

Whereas, Wizz negotiating a good rate with GLA, means they can now offer same fares etc at a profit.

You guys have short memories. There is definitely a case for GLA - NY, at least daily ALL summer, although the loads are poor Jan- April money can be made with appropriate schedule. In 2019 at GLA you had US and DL daily 757’s. From EDI, 2 UA 757, DL 757, AA 757 ( may have changed from JFK to Philad...

Has anyone actually tried finding details of the 2023 VS direct flight from EDI on the VS site? I tried all sorts of direct flight sort options and searched for July/August schedules from EDI etc 2 months ago. Their website is useless, it gives everything but these flights unless you know exact days...

I flew out of EDI yesterday, 7 July, interestingly there was no “ daily” AC 787 in either direction. Anyone know what’s happened to it, have AC over stretched at EDI? Also looking at recent GLA Air Transat flights, disappointingly most have been A321 and not A330, even with the school holidays begin...
