Interestingly VS to Orlando is now carrying a KLM codeshare (KL2505/6) and is being offered as a Europe-Orlando option, changing planes at AMS and EDI. Bizarrely, you can book MCO-GLA using this service, via EDI & AMS. EDI does not have a flight connection facility, so quite how do you transit without entering and exiting the UK?

From what I hear ... sales have not been breathtaking . With covid its hard to tell but this is a mistake by VS .. Gla was doing well and even going year round .

Looks like Virgin have dropped EDI-BGI, at least for now. I have been told that at some point this week, the outbound will position empty to either MAN or LHR. Getting this second hand so nothing official but a check on VS's website showed connections via LHR.

Yesterdays flight operated as normal. The Sunday outbound departure was cancelled due to a crewing Covid issue and the aircraft being required for an ISB departure instead.

ASAIK it’s business as usual, or at least whatever usual entails these days during the winter schedule.

The flight carries a KL codeshare for transfer passengers, of which there are some.

I know this is the ‘Other Aviation’ category, but are we now also aiding in the recruitment for the main competitor to GLA by showing advertisements that can easily be found elsewhere or maybe just exercising the wooden spoon where/when not necessarily needed ?

Agree. Unless we are going to advertise job vacancies at all Scottish airports then I think we should stick to GLA.
