Contrasting figures indeed, which seem difficult to put to a pattern, especially when compared to the figures for GLA for April.
I don't think we have GLA figures for April yet. The numbers quoted by Bearsden are for Edinburgh.
Yes sorry, I see that now.

EDI had a large BE base with iirc something like 8+ flights per day to LHR/LCY alone, plus many others on top so I guess the absence of that may be hitting the domestics more.

I can't read all the information on the windows, but it looks like one of them says "7 of the 10 most visited attractions in Scotland are in Edinburgh". Looks a fairly impressive and professional event.

I notice from the attendees list that AGS was represented as a group, rather than individual airports, whereas MAG had separate representation for each airport, and GIP wasn't mentioned in the Edinburgh blurb. Compare the front page summaries on here.

Yes, 'big corporation' mindset . . . three individual airports with little or no comparability or synergy so each need a separate focus, especially GLA

EDI-BGI has been taken off sale by Virgin. Likely means the route is dropped.

SunExpess to increase EDI-AYT to daily for S23 as part of a UK wide expansion which see's new UK destinations at Bristol and Newcastle.

Everyone knew that route wouldn’t work.

Just shows what happens when you let money talk, suspect GLA management are laughing at them right now.

What accounts are these?

Well I’ve met it twice and have colleagues who work on check in and boarding. Not spectacular is way off mark, even the disembarking crew remark how busy they were,
