Very good news. Delta citing exceptionally high demand from Americans wishing to travel in 2023. EDI at peak S23 on a Saturday for example will see 7 departures to the US and 2 to Canada. Busy times well and truly back.Great to hear
I expect the route will be in high demand with inbound tourists visiting Scotland. Great news things are looking up.
I’ve also read some of the comments. I’m confident S23 will be another bumper season. EDI-ATL is the only new US route. Approx 3024 total two-way seats per week. Given that the other routes in S22 operated with mid to high 90’s LF’s for the entire season, the additional capacity you could argue is required to keep up with demand. The only route I have concerns about is VS MCO route. Yes, they’ve upgraded to a larger capacity aircraft. A high density 351 seating 400+ pax. They’re also re-starting much later compared to 2022. VS is hugely unpredictable. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them exiting EDI fairly soon. EDI management is also pushing hard to obtain a TSA Pre-clearance facility. This is very hard to get and would require a substantial financial commitment to create a small piece of the US within the terminal. It would require a whole section of the terminal, solely for flights to/from the US. I doubt very much the management would be pushing for this if they had doubts about the US market.But people are already discussing if EDI has too much capacity to the US in S23 and will all go pop at the end of the summer season ?
