This is a definite! But no double daily yet for GLA MAN will go to three per day from summer schedule 05 DUB will be announced for start next summer, this has been brought forward by almost 2 years! SYD is going double daily and it is likely to be via SIN not CMB or direct! As some have mentioned China is being looked into for both CAN & PEK, PEK is high on the list! One interesting subject that was brought up is NCL ........ Its being looked into! As we speak! So watch this space, don't expect anything this year but maybe end of next year!

This is a definite! But no double daily yet for GLA Very interesting indeed. Great news if it happens! EK seem to be proposing to 'do a CO' as far as the UK is concerned. By making their regional services as widely accessible (and therefore as attractive) as possible, they will be one step ahead of their competitors who only fly to the Middle East from LHR (i.e. British Airways). Fingers crossed.

You can't expect an instant influx of long haul carriers at EDI. These things take time, and besides BAA Edinburgh will need to build the airport up gradually over the next decade with more stands/gates etc. before it will be able to handle the volume you appear to envisage. Of course, that doesn't stop them handling a few long-haul routes in the mean time, but you have to be patient and stop expecting everything five years ago!! IMO there are still plenty of gaps in EDI's European schedules which should take priority just now anyway. :-) Back to top fox1 Guest Posted: Tue Sep 28, 2004 6:58 pm    Post subject: Re: EK to start EDI Summer 2005 according to A.net On Tue, 28 Sep 2004 18:10:18 GMT, "Callum Johnstone" <callumjohnstone (AT) blueyonder (DOT) co.uk> wrote: Quote: You can't expect an instant influx of long haul carriers at EDI.

BAA have underestimated EDI's growth on no fewer than 14 consecutive occasions.! EDI's MD is on record of stating in his inaugural speech that there would be no more big jets in Edinburgh skies.. Seems my 'envisages' have more credibility?

This is a definite! But no double daily yet for GLA I always thought this was more likely than double-daily at GLA tbh - they will probably recieve RDF money to start an EDI service that they might not get to go 2x daily at GLA. A double daily from GLA might have also caused disquiet in Edinburgh quarters as well - and not just from the Livi loony! Quote: One interesting subject that was brought up is NCL ........ Its being looked into! As we speak! So watch this space, don't expect anything this year but maybe end of next year! With this and the possible DUB service it looks like EK are following CO's lead and planning to expand long-haul direct from regional airports. Well done to them! The only thing that concerns me about these flights to DXB is the situation in the middle east - I know the UAE is stable, but a few terroist attacks against western interests there could be very harmful.
