Quoting by738 (Thread starter): One wonders what GIP have been offering to suddenly get all these long haul flights.... |
Quoting usairways85 (Reply 4): Didn't US operate this for a few years in the mid 2000s and then drop it ~4 years ago? |
Quoting fxramper (Reply 10): I'm not surprised. Hope it lasts. Doesn't UA operate a second daily seasonally out of EWR? |
Quoting hibtastic (Reply 17): Excellent news. Plenty 752s at EDI next summer. I keep saying it but a ME flight must be top priority now. |
Quoting skipness1E (Reply 13): The second seasonal daily United EDI-EWR is being replaced by EDI-ORD. |
Quoting AmricanShamrok (Reply 22): Is this confirmed? United.com is still showing the two daily EDI-EWR (flights UA37/UA109 and UA36/UA108) on sale as well as EDI-ORD (UA119 and UA118) for next summer. |
Quoting skipness1E (Reply 18): Forgive me, I had wrongly assumed they were doing what they did at MAN. Even better news then. |
Quoting visualapproach (Reply 20): No my friend, the citizens own RBS. |
Quoting sandyb123 (Reply 21): Yup, double daily in the summer and 5 weekly winter. This is a very popular flight, I can see this going to a 763 on at least one of the two daily if traffic continues to increase. Great news for EDI. |
Quoting skipness1E (Reply 24): Agreed, they're on a journey to "right size" the new combined fleet, just remind me, some of the B763s are moving to two class? |

Quoting sandyb123 (Reply 21): I think it's got to be EY. They are growing their European presence and with EK double daily 773ER (and rumour of the A380) up the road in GLA it seems like the logical operator? |
Quoting nighthawk (Reply 27): Etihad are less likely now that they have announced they are buying a stake in Darwin, which is now being renamed to Etihad Regional, and will operate as a feeder airline for some of Etihads flights, mainly out of Zurich. |
Quoting sandyb123 (Reply 28): Etihad Regional isn't planning to fly to EDI and that wouldn't make sense, especially if you're connecting at AUH. In fact Etihad regional are only flying from LCY and CBG in the UK so it's kind of a mute point. I can see an EY A321 or A330 coming to EDI. |
Quoting milemaster (Reply 33): It is a bit of a hike from EDI to the city center, but it's better than driving from Glasgow. |
Quoting hibtastic (Reply 30): As for the ME services, I assumed QR is the most likely of the three to arrive at EDI once more of their 787s arrived. |
