More like Edinburgh west !! :lol:

- AirBaltic to Riga;
I'm sure I read that had been pulled already. Dewar certainly won't be shouting about it from the rooftops if it has !
It's back apparently from next summer, Flyr also planning to fly to Oslo as well, could scare away Norwegian from the route as well given their financial position.

Afaik Menzies handle BT but Flyr? They’re meant to be flying to sunshine destinations so surpurepsed to see them in EDI. Despite financial issues DY has a strong presence and profit on intra Scandinavian Services - it’s like FR and DUB to UK services - a cash cow.my preference would be to plump for DY. Also SK fly to OSL from EDI sounds like a rather crowded market place.....

In the words of Francis Urquhart “ You May say that, I can’t possibly comment” :lol:

Just stating facts as they stand. Mind you it made my day yesterday after a busy day to see the TUB E90 being towed into a remote stand after arriving from BRU. If only we had a couple of these in GLA to serve Sardinia, Sicily, Corsica, Genoa, Almeria, Murcia: but then TUI aren’t and have never been innovative.

They have apparently applied to serve the route 2x weekly alongside Manchester and Gatwick (LGW will be Daily).

Twice a week Sunday & Tuesday

Here's my take . . . . get press coverage today with
https://www.scotsman.com/health/coronav ... ns-3480511
then stick a dummy departure on the board to show it is operating (albeit not today)
Very clever use of the media and 'own goals' by others
