2 x USAF KC10s diverted to EDI tonight due crosswinds at PIK.
Strange that space was found to park them till Sunday but 3 biz had to reposition to GLA earlier in the day, presumably due to lack of parking space.
And I assume difficult to find local accommodation for the crew
But perhaps proactive and £ driven . . . Ops told by CEO find a way!
Of course forcing the biz to reposition is a £ gain for EDI as they will reposition back - two sets of landing fees

UA arrived back in EDI today after a 2 year absence. Aircraft there for 24 hours before heading back to EWR with a full load.

Wonder if this move is to pull premium passengers away from WestJet making it harder for WS to compete with them.

I wonder how much the closure of Russian Airspace to Finnair has influenced this decision, as I assume the route relies quite heavily on passengers connecting onwards to Asia through Helsinki.
