Edinburgh

[FlyGLA]

Of all the failed start up projects that have came and gone over the years this has to be the most laughable of them all.

It's worth pointing out that the man behind this has donated significant sums of money to Just Stop Oil idiots. He is essentially funding criminal behaviour.

Interesting. I wonder what happens if you have a lightning strike, dose it just short out and drop out the sky.
A friend of ours were on a flight 2 weeks ago and had a lightning strike over Turin But that was a normal plane and landed safely.

Utter nonsense that will never get off the ground. One of the longer sector lengths in UK domestic flying on a twotter? I've not laughed like that in a while .

UA S24

United have placed on sale second daily Newark - Edinburgh flight (UA161/62) for next summer. Starts 23rd May. Although things can change, for now, it looks unlikely that United intend to return to GLA.

Don’t they already have that flight? Not sure continuing it affects the likelihood of restarting GLA. Unless you think demand in the Scottish market is now fully catered for?

Yeah I know they already have that flight operating. Just a resumption I meant. Economics I guess will determine what happens. Demand from the US is very high due to the weak UK pound. Will this continue into 2024? Who knows. I honestly don’t know if United would, for example, try an EWR summer seasonal from GLA. Do you think they will? Perhaps they will wait and see if the much rumoured JetBlue service from GLA happens.

They used to serve both airports and as demand is high I don’t see why not.

The problem is that both United and Delta have built sizeable operations at EDI at least in the summer months (UAL B757 2 x EWR, 1 x IAD & 1 x ORD and DAL B767 1 x JFK, 1 x BOS & 1 x ATL) supported no doubt by 'exclusive' deals and now by traffic volumes which give them substantial buying power in handling, crew accommodation, transport etc plus some flexibility if an aircraft goes unserviceable

The only change on the horizon is the aircraft choice after the B757 & B767

It seems to some that talking about Edinburgh is the same as me talking about Celtic. I despise them but they exist. They won the league last year. They need to be removed from top spot.
In any walk of life you need to know and understand who the enemy or biggest threat to your KPI s are.
Edinburgh is no longer a threat to GLA. That horse has bolted and is lying on a Beach drinking Tequila.
We should discuss Edinburgh because its actions will continue to have an adverse affect on Glasgow.
PIK is the vennue where every one of you should be throwing custard pies at.

Being well aware of all that I still said I don’t see why not.
