BA CityFlyer have applied for Slots to operate EDI to DUB in S22

A friend in BACF mentioned this a few weeks ago, apparently to release Aer Lingus A320's to go back to European ops from DUB, and to hedge against Emerald not being available.

Makes sense, any ideas what would happen with EI's GLA flights, if they don't want to fly them to EDI then I really don't see them flying to GLA.

Unfortunately not, but BACF must be an option, if there is a problem with Emerald getting started.

Convenient excuse. Was likely to be cut anyway, 787 being way too much of an aircraft not withstanding.

I agree, easy enough for AA to fly people to LHR then connect onto a BA flight from their to Scotland.

Some further FR changes for S22:

ORK- Increase from 3x to 12x weekly
NOC - Increase from 2x to 3x weekly
BVA and MAD 3x weekly.
CRL increases to daily.
SNN 3x weekly.

Presumably the Eire increases are a pre-emptive shot across Emerald's bow.

Could be up to 10 aircraft based looking at the timetable. Was eight pre-covid, although had briefly been nine before STN was ditched.

These changes mean that EDI is now sitting at 230 FR departures, making them the second largest airline by departures behind easyJet with 247. From what I can see there is still potential for them to add additional flights with their based aircraft.

Monday for example requires 8 based aircraft, whereas Friday requires 9.

It not just Edinburgh it is routes all over the world they have cut due to the same reason. We all know Boeing is having problems at the the moment with deliveries on the 787. Maybe they should have opted for airbus

Routes dropped are PHL- EDI and SNN plus LAX-HKG due to late delivery of 787s.

Regards the comments re Airbus - ask QR regards A350 groundings which produced an A330 on Wednesday due to lack of 787s operating other duties. It’s also responsible for the return of A380 to LHR and CDG on QR services. Don’t know what I’ll see on Sunday, time will tell.

I would dig deeper into the QR/Airbus spat. Its now getting pretty obvious its all about who pays for the fix. This is the same QR that is refusing to take 787s produced in CHS - not that you will see a 787 delivery till at least spring 2022.
