    I think this would be a good move, just now the ratio of flights to Canada from EDI and GLA to Canada is way too one-sided. EDI’s 2 to GLA’s 20 odd.
    There would be no harm in starting a 4 times a week service or something along those lines.

    A bit of healthy competition harmed no one.. except of course those who enjoyed an unhealthy monopoly.

    BAA’s social engineering of transatlantic pax to an airport of their choice rather than that of populace is scandalous,
    time I think for Scotland’s parliament to put the running of its airports out to tender.. 😡 😡

    Why are there so many GLA v EDI debates on here? Everyone knows that there’s only one airport in Scotland – DND! 😀

    And only one cake! 😀 😀

    Ah… they have two 767’s now the latest being the former PH-AHR from Air Holland.

    This was the highlight of last summer’s EDI Saturday mornings

    A very busy aircraft indeed, came from Amsterdam after a gruelling haul around South America.

    Air Scotland managed to fill it to Palma and back 😎 ..

    Actually, no
    This rumour has been around before. Its not Bull. .

    A very strong rumour…Zoom have a spat with Canadian
    Affair…perhaps they might pre-empt CA from turning
    their Toronto summer service to year round.?

    A friend of mine in Canada said Zoom took out a survey and found that 75% of their canadian passengers have Edinburgh as their destination.

    Seems only fair that they want to add EDI to their rapidly expanding list of destinations.

    Zoom’s intentions are just a rumour at the moment, it makes my blood boil when folk think their local airport
    has a devine right to exclusive transatlantic flights. 😡

    Its 100% bull. Its just the usal Edinburgh spoters bitter about GLA’s new long haul based airline. They have said they will only expand from GLA in Scotland.

    Its only a rumour for christ sake…. :confused:

    Follow Renfrew’s lead, answer sensibly instead of turning
    this thread hostile. 😡

    Jesus, it costs me twice that amount for four weeks in Cairns, and i live in the bloody country

    A comment I often heard the last time I went to the Gold Coast… Australia at these prices has got to be the sale of the century..

    Looking forward to snapping at Cairns airport…

    Am I the only one to notice, that Globespan seem to cancel about 2 flights a day for some reason? I have noticed it on several occasions on the GLA arrivals board, I think todays Prague was one of them.

    I haven’t noticed..perhaps because I don’t peruse it.
    anyone.?
