A 738 is rare..those loads must be settling down.

I would love to get the shot from a Charlie One take-off,
Alpha One tends to put them kinda high..

SAS got 77% loads at EDI for August I think.

EDI-EWR-EDI, Average of 92% since it started on the 11th June? There or thereabouts. 🙂

CAA provisional data for August shows 9,874 passengers recorded on the Newark route.Assuming full operation (31 days x 2 sectors) an an aircraft capacity of 172, the average load factor was 92.6%. 🙂

You beat me to it Joe! 😀 CSA also appear to have had an exceptional month at EDI for August.
Just for the record, CO managed 86.5% loads at GLA, a drop of only 7% on last year which shows the new service at EDI is having little effect, so good news all round. 🙂

If anybody is interested SIA A340-500 9V-SGD operating Newark-Singapore diverted into LHR this afternoon at 15:00. Supposed to be a broken windscreen, although its seems strange for it to have had those sort of problems half way into its flight? Its parked by the Virgin hangar, no idea of its etd. Might interest anybody making a visit tomorrow?

LHR?! Why LHR?! That is the other side of the Atlantic from it’s flight path is it not? Does it not fly over or very close to the North Pole?

Excellent pics, another SAS B738? 🙂
Just back from that way actually, G-EZEV made an appearance for me too. Titan B733 departed, anyone know who it is operating for just now? Certainly no sign of a BA B772! 😮

GLA’s cago is growing at a amazing rate and now carrys a hell of alot more than EDI

*Sigh* Don’t want an argument here, I’m just showing you the facts from BAA. Granted it is growing super fast at GLA, but clearly not carrying more. 🙂

Another reason for the upgrade mentioned at EDI could be cargo?
Obviously, just now a lot of cargo goes through EDI, in the form of belly cargo and dedicated post/freight services.
I have no idea what sort of amount of cargo CO are carrying on the service, but it being the only EDI-USA service, there may well be a fair amount?

Wouldn’t Aberdeen be in Oslo’s catchment area? 😉

LOL. If you’re a good swimmer? Just a short breaststroke across the ‘water’. 😉

I’m not doubting such.

All I’m saying is so far the two services have been running strong, despite them being close together.
The EDI service has a large catchment area. As I mentioned previously my seat neighbour on the EWR-EDI flight was from Perth. Some 30-35 miles north of Edinburgh. He was travelling with a friend from Berwick upon tweed, that totaly shocked me!

I bet the catchment area for EDI on the East Coast alone could be as far North as Aberdeen and as far South as Newcastle?

Well i wasnt aware they operated the DC-10 anymore???
Even so if it was a downgrade it has been upgraded again obviously now with the twice daily B752s at BHX 🙂

No they are gone, I mean years ago, if it started as DC10 (or as B752 then was upgraded to DC10?) then went back to B752 when they were retired?

Can’t see it myself, to be honest. Too much competition at MAN, from bmiBaby, Hapag-Lloyd Express (and Air Berlin from November), and V-Bird.

As we all know, Ryanair are somewhat allergic to the “C” word. 😀

Is that ‘City’ due to their tendency to operating into tin sheds stuck in the middle of nowhere? 😉 Or ‘Competition’? 😉 I wonder… :p
