August 2024 CAA Stats

The only question is will Transat keep GLA and EDI or do a United, WestJet, Air Canada, Virgin, Delta and American and shift everything east.

Air Transat don’t fly to EGPH.

It will be interesting to see how Scotland-Canada pans out over the next couple of years with so much competiton. Much of TS pax are low-yield VFR traffic and Canadian Affair bookings and I suspect it's largely an outbound market nowadays (careful). WestJet serving ***-YYC is an interesting one given that there has always been a large dispora of connecting pax to YYC and YVR. AC and WS also offer far more connections than TS can.

GLA's market share of direct Canada traffic from Central Scotland is down to 22% in August

[buddyboy]

DXB -1% (Average load 503 LF 97%)
YYZ -15%

97% load factor on a daily A380 and still only one flight. Seriously EK and AGS... WTF are they playing at? And August is low season for this route. They are literally turning passengers away.

It's almost as if they are retrofitting their fleet which is leaving them short and Air Transat used A330s last year.....oh wait...that's what's happening

Retrofitting but could still launch flights to EDI.... Rather than adding a second flight to an already established route. Hmm.

Geez TS don't fly to edi so kinda a obsolete conversation

Recently, the same could have been said for Air Canada, American Airlines, Emirates, Virgin Atlantic, and WestJet. GLA once held nearly 100% of the Scotland-Canada market, but as noted earlier, this has now dropped to just 22%. If I'm not mistaken, Air Transat and Icelandair are now the only airlines operating at GLA without also serving EDI, and there isn’t a single international destination exclusive to GLA. Unless AGS go, It's a matter of time.

You are mistaken: Wizzair don't serve EDI.

Ah yes. Although their one destination from GLA has far more flights from EDI.

Get all that but we are thinking of problems and issues that haven't occurred

Although that's true, if the issues from the past aren't addressed, we can anticipate similar outcomes in the future.
