[QUOTE=David Kerr]When did BAA force CO and DL out of EDI then? They are still running, aren’t they?

QUOTE]
Slightly different kettle of fish here, there are loads of flights a day from GLA to stateside(in summer), so only right that EDI should have a few, The American market is very big in Scotland.however, it is well known that BAA want EDI primarily for short hop, and GLA primarily for long haul (PIK catering for the west coast short stuff)
Would dearly like to see EDI get an eastbound long haul, but, really can’t see it IF EK start NCL, giving east coasters a choice of 2 EK served airports in short travelling time.

Some info about Stand 9 for you all. From what I have heard it has been upgraded to house an A330 or 777. This then puts the rumour of Emirates more in perspective. However I am at doubts that a such a route could sustain capacity at NCL, nevertheless I do hope it comes, as it would be a great assest to NCL’s route network.

I think there is plenty of potential here, NCL is easily accessable for folk from Edinburgh and down the east coast of Scotland, very little chance of EK starting an EDI route when they have a route 45 miles west,and, BAA’s apparent dislike of long haul routes from EDI. It makes a whole lot of sense to start from NCL as for people in the north east’s only choices are from MAN or GLA.

Oops apologies wrong section…forgot where i was, any mods able to move this thread please? (still over the moon at the mighty Celtic qualifying in the CL 😮 )

Oooh nice shots! What’s converty like for spotting? 🙂

Not too bad around the perimeter, Where i took the shots from offers full view of the runway and the hangars etc…has a very good museum too, not so sure about around the terminal, i believe you have to go through a security gate just to access the terminal area?
