Great stuff :-) Great figures on the Globespan routes too.

There is no Scottish Route Crown! Let's be thankful that both routes are doing well. Those are fantastic figures for both routes :-) Agreed, I must have forgot to add my smiley What's become clearer and clearer by the month is that Edinburgh and Glasgow are increasingly *equal* players. Both have shown that they can sustain strong international services. Those into the "mine's bigger than yours" mentality are having to search ever more desperately for ammunition these days. Most would agree that both airports are doing brilliantly well, and that's all that matters. Just to show how 'equal' the airports are truly becoming, have a look at two European routes' performances from July this year: PRAGUE Edinburgh - 12,511 Glasgow - 12,431 BARCELONA Edinburgh - 8,517 Glasgow - 8,325 The blinkered among us may desperately seek to argue that 80 extra pax on the EDI-PRG route confirms some sort of "superiority", while other equally-desperate observers may like to argue that GLA wears the "crown" on other routes, but to my mind, it just goes to show that if you give both airports an approximately similar frequency of service to the same city, they will both return very similar figures on those routes, confirming the dual popularity of both EDI and GLA as departure/arrival points. Globespan's strategy of developing routes from *both* airports is undoubtedly vindicated. Long may EDI and GLA continue to prosper, and let's pity those who try to drive a wedge between Scotland's two great cities. *exit stage left to thunderous applause* ;-) Callum.

Well said that man again. Even today when I was looking for flights to Dublin I checked GLA, PIK and EDI to see if anything matched what I was looking for, like others I dont mind using any of the Central Scotland airports. regards John Back to top John Reid Guest Posted: Mon Aug 22, 2005 5:32 pm    Post subject: Re: EDI Loses COA's Premier Scottish Route Crown It is written in message <RWnOe.10190$jr4.3004 (AT) fe3 (DOT) news.blueyonder.co.uk> that Callum Johnstone sayeth : Quote: Long may EDI and GLA continue to prosper, and let's pity those who try to drive a wedge between Scotland's two great cities. *exit stage left to thunderous applause* I can hear the echoes here ...... and add to them! -- John Mail sent to the reply address will be binned automatically.
