A good start to the week for EDI. Will more good news follow soon? 🤔

🤐 for now. EDI staff intranet, I’m reliably informed has a post suggesting that additional announcements hopefully to follow.

Always room for more new or returning routes. Could something else be announced soon, I wonder? 🤔

American confirmed. Philadelphia daily from 23rd May 2025. 788/9 operating. https://news.aa.com/news/news-details/2024/American-Airlines-debuts-summer-2025-schedule-with-new-routes-to-Europe-NET-RTS-09/default.aspx

Some airlines around this time of year release detail of new long haul routes or resumptions. I wonder if something could be on the horizon? 🤔

The latest pax projections for EDI is an interesting one. Predicted to hit 19m in the next 3.5 years. This is quite an increase. This means existing carriers likely to increase frequency or introduce new routes. Brand new carriers would also boost numbers. S24 is done re new things. W24 is...

Not aware of any direct routes from EDI to Georgia or Serbia. Very unlikely to change. Air Serbia is a very small airline with a limited number of aircraft. Easiest connection would probably be with Lufthansa via Frankfurt. Happy to be corrected, but I don’t see their being much demand for a...

EDI have one stand (gate 16) that can accomodate a A388.

An A388 can land at EDI. The issue however is suitable taxiway width at certain points.

Pure speculation I have heard and I use the word “rumour” that a certain ME carrier may be heading for EDI. This has been rumoured previously but I just wonder if there could be something in this one. We all like a bit of route gossip after all 😉

A route that is very much still alive at the negotiating stage. Not EK though. Potentially complicated by the need to have a stop-over Somewhere else.…..

Direct staff at the airport have been told to expect significant change in the next three years. This ties in with the info detailed in report. Four gates with airbridges for domestic routes with 6 remote stands directly opposite the terminal. Additional remote stands to the east for over flows...

Terminal Expansion The much discussed terminal expansion appears to be on the radar again. A significant expansion in the next few years, creating a much expanded area for international flights. Most domestic flights being handled through gates 1-3. Thinking about the current layout, with all...

An established and well known airline. Sorry, Im sworn to say nothing. The usual X suspects will probably also have wind of this. Just a hunch.

Fairly quiet start to the year so far with regard to route development. I wonder if this is about to change? Having passed through EDI earlier today and chatting to a handling agent buddy, it appears that Swissport have received a new request for services for S24. Not at liberty to say who from...

My understanding of the situation is GIP will continue to manage EDI. The sale is Blackrock acquiring GIP. Any major expenditure or airport expansion decisions will be made by BR. They could of course decide to sell the asset (EDI) at some point. However, it wouldn’t make much sense, in the...

Sale or no longer for sale?? A potentially game changer announcement made a short time ago. Blackrock, One of the world’s largest asset collector co has acquired GIP, the current owners of EDI. Effectively, EDI is now an asset of BR. The stated aim of Blackrock is to invest heavily in major...

The VS frequency increase is recorded on the updated ACL. Not reflected as yet on VS website. The number of seats compared to S23 remain the same on the report. This could therefore mean that VS may announce frequency increase in due course. No specific mention of new routes being targeted or...

S24 ACL Update An updated ACL has been released. Some very promising news for S24 Emirates have actual allocated slots for a daily service. Not 100% certain that they will resume. However, I’m led to believe that it is becoming more likely they will resume following delivery of new aircraft...

31414. taxiways and stand refurb. Listed as design. I’m led to believe that the design is complete and works could start right away. I don’t know the size of the widening but understand it is the railway end of runway to begin with. It’s certainly quite tight currently for wide-bodies. A big...
