EDI confirmed with A350 from November 4th

Hardly surprising

I wonder how AGS are getting on with their loan refinancing?

In relation to the benefits or otherwise of direct competition, isn’t the risk for GLA that EK return to the airport where QR operates double daily, presumably on a A359 and competes directly with QR? This could mean EK sticking with a daily 388 from GLA.

Wow! Deadly accurate mate. You don't have tomorrow's Euro Millions numbers to hand I suppose?

GLA need to get TK in pronto.

Would like to say the same for QR but highly unlikely to happen.

Shambles but not surprised. Surely this should work both ways

If they can’t even hang onto Loganair SOU, I really have my doubts about the ability for any other business to be secured.

Hopefully this will help to bring down prices in a small way. The premium economy offering on the A359 will be very popular. GLA route is well established. I don’t see this being under any threat. As for expansion. I honestly don’t know.

TK have just increased to 10 x weekly, year round. I suspect they knew this was coming.

Not when the commercial deal / value proposition is not being matched or exceeded - EDI will shortly have a new majority shareholder who paid £1.27 billion for a 50.01% share of the business . . . . they are clearly going to go for expansion and the competition

AGS is lumbered with huge external debt and shareholder funding (circa £1 billion) on #9, #16 and #21 airports in the UK - the total passenger traffic only just exceeeds airport #8 (Bristol)

I meant in terms of dealing in the likes of TK. Surely they and QR aren't going to let EK come in and ruin their party and not make any effort to spoil the EK free reign at GLA.

Are AGS commercially astute enough to deal in QR and TK? Or are we more likely to get a KFC opening instead?
