A destination to the east or to the west?

DEN I presume.

Is whatever this relates to still likely to happen in S24 (getting a bit late if so) or will it be delayed?

Would this be in addition to the route rumour from your Swissport buddy above? A poster on FlyerTalk seemed fairly confident of EK adding EDI this year on the A350:

Any idea when whatever this is may be announced?

A new airline or the return of an airline that used to serve EDI?

Thanks @Jetsco Do you know what the increase in Virgin's frequency amounted to (presumably it's not happening this year given it's still on sale at twice-weekly)? Is there any mention of the rumoured Indian or Ethiopian services?

I can't see such a taxiway widening project listed in 2.1 below. Where exactly is it being widened and by how much...

Any reasonable expectations for what 2024 may bring (beyond things already announced)? Some more capacity to the Middle East? An Indian or additional Asian destination? Some more based Ryanair? The year could also see growth at GLA outstripping EDI (especially if Ryanair reopen a base at GLA)...

That's very interesting. Is there an article or similar that you could point me to please that shows the proportion of UK originating passengers on SQ's UK operations?

Often wondered if a SIN-EDI-IAH route might work, given that it might be attractive to oil-related folks at the southern part of Aberdeen/shire. A United codeshare might help for US-originating traffic too. (All speculation on my part).

Might this something else be announced this coming week @Jetsco ?

Unless I'm missing something, nobody has mentioned Amritsar as a potential EDI Indian route. What's the basis for your assumption that it would be? As for AI, they'll be adding 10 widebody aircraft to their fleet over the next six months and launching four international routes. Anyway, all...

Had thought the 'spice' comment referred to SpiceJet who are rumoured to be planning to serve MAN/BHX with an A340. But if it's AI instead then presumably a 787 could reach India direct from EDI given Hainan used one to reach PEK ok. No doubt it is. But there'll be plenty of India's burgeoning...

Could an A340 reach India direct from EDI?
