Nice photos, Jamie. If that SAS 736 is the inbound aircraft which sat on the taxiway for a little while before pulling up to the gate then I was onboard 🙂

Yes, I think you’re right about Venice, and it was possibly two or three years ago, however I think Globespan could give it a better shot this time as they are much more widely known in Scotland than they were even a couple of years ago, and they also have more aircraft at their disposal now. Jet2 has identified Italy as an up and coming market for Scotland, so hopefully Globespan will follow suit.

Flyglobespan really should stick to Scotland. So far their short haul ventures south of the border have not been a roaring success.

I’d love to see them start new routes such as EDI-VCE and EDI-MUC. I know the Spanish resorts are Flyglobespan’s strongest market but I’m sure if they put their backs into it they could make a success of more city-break destinations from Scotland.

Still waiting on GLA-DUB with FR. Glasgow International must be the only major airport in the UK with no Ryanair flights.

Heathrow? 😉

Some overdue routes from Edinburgh:

EDI-MUC (LH or BD) – BD supposedly still hold slots for this.
EDI-OSL (SAS Braathens?)
EDI-ZRH (Swiss?) – high time this one came back.
EDI-MXP (Ideally Alitalia, but perhaps a future route for EZY)
EDI-MAD (IB or BA Connect – a glaring gap in EDI’s route network)

I could see the logic in retaining EDI-STN (only one competitor on the route) but I think GSM would still be better switching the GLA flights to LGW if they can get hold of the slots. Only BA to compete with on this route, after all.
