Only interested in GLA. An extra 300 ( guess) seats a day x 7 is 2100 per week or 8400 per month. 100,000 per annum.
if full.
Crucial that it doesnt impact Emirates.
Of course it impacts Emirates. Your average Scottish punter travelling to Oz/Far East is likely to go where the fares are lower and QR are providing that option for the Scottish market ex EDI. They couldn’t give a hoot that EK will have the A380 at GLA.
Bingo. There you go Hads.
Don’t forget folks - competition only goes one way.[1]

Most people I know from the GLA conurbation have little choice but to use EDI these days. Fact.

QRtwice daily from EDI! Don’t say I didn’t tell you last November: ten weekly then double daily.
The loads are not reliant on solely outbound traffic- there is plenty in the way of inbound traffic and this will release many more seats for the Indian sub continent which has been constrained by loads for OZ, NZ and SAfrica. This also takes into account China opening up again to provide additional connectivity as well as other Asian countries.
Looks like it’s going to be a very, very busy summer - and long shifts!

QR now back to their pre-Covid frequency (albeit on the 787 - were both flights on the A350 in 2019?) to EDI yet still only a daily EK flight to GLA. We may have the A380 back but we are still well below 2019 capacity for both seats and cargo. The ME relies heavily on connections and EDI has the upper hand here.

Yes we know. That’ll be because everyone egpffqtv knows prefers to fly from EDI.

There you go making things up again. Where did I say they prefer to fly from Edinburgh?
What I said is they have little other choice. You utter numpty.

You say that like it's a crime. Almost no one I know prefers it, they have next to no choice...

Next to no choice, and AGS GLA don’t appear to be doing anything to remedy that.
