What accounts are these?
Yup, it was always likely to struggle.
I would think these flights may well essentially relocate many AYT pax to EDI that pre-covid we're flying from GLA on TCX. So GLA failed to replace that capacity at GLA, even though the the pax were demonstrably flying from here and EDI succeeded even though they weren't flying from there.
We don't know how it actually worked out on the ground, but if they are failing to promote GLA individually then it's unsatisfactory and makes a mockery of what Provan was saying in his recent letter about upping the game wrt to promoting Glasgow. Let's remember what he said:PiperOne wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 10:12 pmI notice from the attendees list that AGS was represented as a group, rather than individual airports, whereas MAG had separate representation for each airport, and GIP wasn't mentioned in the Edinburgh blurb.

I can't read all the information on the windows, but it looks like one of them says "7 of the 10 most visited attractions in Scotland are in Edinburgh". Looks a fairly impressive and professional event.

If Provan meant what he said then Routes Europe should surely have been the start of "working harder" and "reinvigorating" their approach, but it doesn't seem like it on first impressions.This means, as a city, we will need to work even harder to sell Glasgow as an attractive destination and restore the connectivity that will drive our recovery.
It is widely accepted that a region with strong connectivity can expect to enjoy increased levels of trade, tourism and prosperity. It is also the case that airlines fly to cities, not airports. Now, more than ever, is the time to reinvigorate our team approach to route development and destination marketing.

Every single person in this forum witnessed Virgin management say Edinburgh provides a gateway to launch new destinations and grow.Iain wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 8:57 pm+1Sharpal7 wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 8:45 pmQuite frankly GLA Management have got nothing to laugh about.GeorgeNTravels wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 5:09 pm

VS are still operating from EDI and not at all from GLA.
GLA now has no service to MCO.
I know who's laughing and they ain't at GLA (I hope!).
