Agreed, but let's remain positive for the present

I seem to recall reading that FI have slots for daily ops at EDI.

Let’s wait and see how this one PLAYs out 8-)

If there's anything we can learn from EDI its that getting as many airlines in competing as possible drives down fares and pulls in pax, so hopefully it's good for GLA.

Although it seems a bit better now, FI fares to KEF itself have generally been quite pricey - maybe this might help to get more realistic fares to Iceland.

According to ITK guys elsewhere FI have cancelled all their slot requests for EDI !

I’m sure we’re all lining up to congratulate GLA bosses for landing this new business despite the competitive landscape that weighs so heavily on us.

Great news... I think? Nice to see a new carrier at GLA but could it be at the expense of one of the longest serving airlines we have? FI have proved over the years that they can make the route work. Play can't and I don't think we have the capacity for two carriers on the route. I'd love to be proved wrong though. Gonna have to take a deep breath and say, "Well done GLA!" :D
