Also seems to imply that the decision was heavily influenced by Delta on grounds of consolidation and cost cutting.
Delta fly GLA-JFK though, unless they are cutting that too?

Just checked, Delta offering GLA-JFK via AMS for next June.
EDI-JFK is on a 767

I've been sitting on this in the hopes it wasn't true but it VS are indeed shifting, that leaves Glasgow with no flights to the US AT ALL, with the exception of the charter flights with TUI, as United have no flights to New York listed

Absolutely shocking from GLA management

No idea. Was EDI not year round or scheduled to go year round when the pandemic hit, with GLA being limited seasonal service?

EDI would have been two daily flights during peak summer to BOS and JFK with a winter frequency of daily to five times weekly JFK only. GLA had a summer only JFK but that’s now dead.

All those who still believe Glasgow and Edinburgh are separate markets take one step forward..

I never,ever thought I'd see that in print. Mis-management on an industrial scale I'm afraid.
Ffs, I'll be typing 'bring back BAA' at this rate. :x

I suspect the plan for VS/DL is to replicate Manchester, with a VS base operating all the routes for both carriers under codeshares. A couple of A330s should do the trick.

Next up I would speculate could be an Aer Lingus base, again following the Manchester model, to replace AA and utilise a couple of A321neos.
