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!

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.

Also restores some long-lost connections from Glasgow to Coatbridge and Airdrie, which First have ditched.

Also a part replacement for the old First Edinburgh 600 linking Livi to the airport! That’s all the former routes replaced; all they need now is to increase the 747 frequency to every quarter hour to Ferrytolland all the Fife coast services will be linked in perfectly.

Stirling is served by Citylink service 909 and although there is no direct Perth service The Ember service runs to Ingliston Park and Ride within an included tram connection to the airport terminal.
