I shudder to think what GLA's figures will be like,much worse than EDI's I would think. Interesting to note that due to Covid or not, GLA seems to be losing the bucket and spade market flights to EDI as well as everything else. Four aircraft en route to Scotland as I type, all four are FR from leisure destinations, all heading for EDI. We need to deal FR in quickly at GLA and end the charade that is PIK once and for all otherwise I fear for the future.

Add to thatJet2 to Santorini and Skiathos both EDI departures. And don’t look to TUI for any growth. That EDI unitwas transferred to NCL giving them four based plus a part week 787.

Virgin Atlantic to announce new flights from EDI today?

Yes!
Barbados 2 x weekly A330 from 5th Dec
Orlando 2 x weekly A330 from April 2022

Not clear if this replaces GLA yet

Not good for gla .... i asked VS on twitter , they said both airports will have service but could be another nail as when airlines so that i dont believe them as social media people dont really know ... however gla seems to retain MCO services better than edi so lets hope edi doesnt perform as well

Reading the reply to awwdabaaby on Twitter, it seems that GLA is indeed being replaced by EDI

This says GLA is cut.

Also seems to imply that the decision was heavily influenced by Delta on grounds of consolidation and cost cutting.
