I made a perfectly valid point and you accused me of sounding like a child... sounds like causing strife to me?
We all know that GLA lags behind EDI terribly and that everything at EDI is paved with gold. The only point of your post was to cause the kind of parochial inter-city bullshit that we are not having in this forum. Some of us have been doing this long enough to know it when we see it.

This is the problem around here, quite happy to dish out insulting remarks to anyone who doesn't fit the agenda and then threaten to kick them out. That's not how moderation works.

Off you pop.
In all seriousness. Can't we all just get along?
We should be able to. Here’s a reminder of the rules for those who need it
Sean M reporting new route from EDI. Starting 18th December. 3 x weekly to Tirana, Albania. Time will tell if the route actually starts given that the UK Gov is very keen to send Albanians home!

Ryanair want a piece of the Albanian pie now. 2 x weekly from 31st October.

Ridiculous level of sheep behaviour from Ryanair and Wizz Air. Both airlines announcing new routes to 10+ destinations from Tirana and the majority are in direct competition with each other. EDI goes from 0 to 5 flights per week. I suspect Wizz Air will cut the route before it even starts.
Ryanair to enter Tirana in Winter 2023 with 17 new routes:
Beauvais
Bologna
Bucharest
Catania
Charleroi
Edinburgh
Kraków
London Stansted
Manchester
Pisa
Prague
Rome Ciampino
Stockholm Arlanda
Treviso
Warsaw Modlin
Weeze
Wizz Air load 10 new routes into the system from Tirana:
Sofia
Chania
Krakow
Malta
Palermo
Bucharest
Edinburgh
Liverpool
Birmingham
Prague

I agree with you about Wizz and question if they will start with their plans. This is classic Wizz behaviour. Test the market then drop if pre sales don’t meet expectations. Ryanair also starting more than a month ahead of Wizz on alternative days.
It's interesting how lots of other airports seem to be able to derive (at least short term) benefit from airlines acting like sheep and competing with each other like this, but GLA never seem to be able to induce it or benefit from it.
For instance, you would have expected the success of EK to DXB over a number years to draw other ME3 carriers to GLA to compete, but instead EY, QR and TK all ended up at EDI.
