Toronto reducing to daily in S26

Disappointing news for Cardiff and EDI. Loganair dropping the route. I just wonder if EZY or FR may take a punt at this route. Loganair are notoriously expensive. The others have the metal and flexibility to make routes work...

American is adding more capacity on the Philadelphia route from August 6th to 3rd September. B788 will be replaced by the B789. The demand shows no signs at all of cooling off.

Another Air Canada new route heading EDI’s way this summer according to various reports. 3 x weekly service to Montreal, commencing June.

Exactly. Big drop. In the grander scheme of things, a 16m pax airport like EDI can mitigate the drop. For Cardiff this is a massive loss of business.

A combination of factors probably. The direct flight options from EDI are so much better than before. Up to 17 x transatlantic flights to/from EDI per day to the US and Canada from EDI this summer. Pax travelling to the ME and on to Australia and NZ for example have 3 x daily options via DXB or...

EDI continues to grow at a tremendous rate. Interestingly however, domestic numbers have not recovered fully following the pandemic. International numbers are going through the roof. Many more pax are flying direct to/from EDI. The American and ME markets being good examples. The reliance on...

Confirmed yesterday evening, Westjet will increase Toronto route from daily to 11 x weekly from the end of June.

A good start to the week for EDI. Will more good news follow soon? 🤔

Confirmation of pax numbers for July 2024. 1,626,726 +6% compared to July 2023. A new record high. Some routes performed extremely strongly. Other, most noticeably, most of the US routes saw a decline in numbers compared to last year. Perhaps the first sign of demand cooling from the US. The...

🤐 for now. EDI staff intranet, I’m reliably informed has a post suggesting that additional announcements hopefully to follow.

Always room for more new or returning routes. Could something else be announced soon, I wonder? 🤔

American confirmed. Philadelphia daily from 23rd May 2025. 788/9 operating. https://news.aa.com/news/news-details/2024/American-Airlines-debuts-summer-2025-schedule-with-new-routes-to-Europe-NET-RTS-09/default.aspx

Some airlines around this time of year release detail of new long haul routes or resumptions. I wonder if something could be on the horizon? 🤔

BA S25 Current listing suggests as many as 14 x daily to LHR and 9 x daily to LCY.

Some preparatory/surveying work appears to have taken place at end of the SE pier. A source at EDI informed me that there is indeed firm plans to extend the SE pier beyond gate 27. Creating a fairly substantial extension towards the remote stands or 300 gates. This would effectively become the...

EDI is highly likely to be one of the first long haul routes to see United’s new 321XLR. As expected, the 757 will be phased out...

Another record month for EDI. June 2024 Total pax number - 1,560,119. +12% compared to June 2023. June 2019 - 1,414,633. Some stats. Munich route - 13,876 or +91% compared to June 2023. Frankfurt also up. 29,734 +23%. Qatar also performed very strongly again. 30,164 +43%. US and Canadian...
