Lots of demand for foreign students returning to Glasgow and Edinburgh at this time of year. Qatar have been using the A350 on some days. EK in the past operated extra flights to GLA.
TK & QR just happy to munch away at EK’s Scottish business like wee Pac Men … Low hanging fruit, easy pickings.

It will be interesting to read what the Glasgow EK pax totals are for December and January. I believe I’m correct to say that the Pakistani and Indian communities predominantly used EK for flights to/from Scotland. In a recent article on QR growth at EDI, the Pakistani and Indian market was the most under-used Asian market for QR. TK it would appear are now tapping more into the market with a codeshare agreement with PIA. How or will EK respond?

Well they will respond by adding the three extra frequencies increasing to ten weekly: double daily in Tue,Thu, Sat.

Like EK in GLA most flights full spans bursting at the seams. Now that the Antipodes are fully open again they are the main onward destinations but extra capacity offers much more for India,Pakistan Sri Lanka which are popular but eclipsed by Aus and NZ.

Now that China is opening again cue more folks for Beijing and Shanghai.

Surely EY aren’t making a surprise return to EDI?

This would be a surprise if it turns out to be correct. Is the demand big enough to sustain QR, EY and possibly EK? It would certainly be an amazing coup for EDI to have the big three ME operating to/from EDI.

And Turkish..... However as we have seen with the US based carriers, airlines are like sheep and seem to want to compete head on regardless....

CPH and DUS are being resumed, they are the new routes. Almost all of those listed are former destinations.

It’s a bit odd that I haven’t been able to find the original post on Instagram and the Twitter poster is normally reliable with his information.

He never said EDI or any of the others on that departure board mock up were a goer.
