Ditching EDI about landing fees according to this post

No mentions of other airports in my posts please

We can only hope. Any additions are welcome at this point. Would like to think a Wizz base would give EZY the kick they need or FR.

TK starting and EK going double daily next please!

Something positive, let's hope they hang around for a while and get the routes back up, if memory serves did they not have 7 routes at one point into GLA?

I thought we’re not allowed to mention other airports?

Confused.

Think he means don't mention EDI but obviously can talk about destinations

Just the tiresome one. But back to GLA. Well done to the bosses for getting this over the line. Now the door’s open maybe there could be an opportunity for Wizz UK to base here and give Ryanair a shock.

Good piece of business. Wizz aren't the best in many ways, but beggars can't be choosers. They've talked about expansion plans in the UK, so it's good to have them at GLA (and not at EDI).

Having said that, they do seem pretty fickle, having jumped from PIK to GLA to EDI and back to GLA in the space of little over a decade! I might be imagining this, but did Wizz not at one point announce a 4 aircraft base at EDI, just before covid?

It will be interesting to see if there's anything to confirm the fees angle - but the question arises if GLA can offer Wizz more attractive terms than EDI, then why can't they do the same with FR?

Lastly, the BUD-GLA times still aren't great for city breaks, but at least they don't have an 0130 arrival in BUD like I think they used to.
