Too right

Worth noting though that, based on the March 2022 CAA numbers, GLA had recovered to 66% of March 2019's numbers, while EDI had recovered to only 62%.

Oh dear. Not what some of our congregation wants to hear.

It's not unexpected given the fact EDI has vastly more Int traffic, which in most cases will have been - and in some cases still is - more affected by COVID than domestics.

GLA had a lot less Int traffic to lose in the first place. I'm not sure that we can argue that's a good thing.

I’m sure you wouldn’t think it was good if GLA’s relative recovery was worse.

My experience of flights to and from GLA this year shows an improving number of pax, summary below.

Feb EZY GLA-BRS - 50%
Feb EZY LTN-GLA - 70%
Mar BA GLA-LHR - Full
Mar BA LHR-GLA - Full
Mar EZY GLA-CDG - 98% ish
Mar EZY CDG-GLA - 95% ish
Apr LH GLA-FRA - Full
Apr LH FRA-GLA - Full
May FR GLA-CRL - 50% full (Belgium mask mandate in place)

Clearly flights are getting busier and as we get into summer they will only get busier.

There’s a politician in the making there using spin like that
