Hey – I’m only telling you what’s in the CAA stats, guys. As I said, it came as a surprise to me.

Joe could be nearer the truth than he thinks so far as the MUFC strips are concerned, though. 😉

Exactly. 😉

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

I think you’re just about on the money there, RIPConcorde. That’s certainly been the pattern at MAN, BHX and GLA.

It’s a strategy that has served Continental very well indeed up to now, so there’s no sense whatsoever in changing it for no good reason.

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” 🙂

I’m not interested in your clan warfare 😉 – I’m just pointing out that the catchment areas for the two services are very close and must inevitably overlap at some point. And they are.

Continental will advance carefully and slowly – their mission is to make as much money as they possibly can in the long term; not to parade aircraft before spotters or, indeed, to fuel local rivalries.

If and when they have hard evidence of long-term higher demand at Edinburgh I have no doubt at all they will expand. After all, this is exactly what happened at GLA.

But not before they can satisfy themselves that such demand exists, and the EDI service simply has not been running for long enough to provide that proof.

But would the extra 757 be available?

There’s the Bristol flight and (maybe) Newcastle too, remember. Liverpool as well, if rumours are to be believed.

I wouldn’t be holding my breath waiting for a 2nd daily EDI service, especially not with the GLA service just “down the road”.
