Yields EDI - NYC area will be trashed.

Edi yields are meant to be decent I am afraid .. wish it wasn't

Airlines really are sheep aren't they. If EDI now get the pre clearance I think we can kiss goodbye to any TATL flights going forward. Really disappointing news.

Yields EDI - NYC area will be trashed.

It might be all right in summer, but in winter it will surely be a different story. Iirc when I looked at flights in July this year EDI-NYC was already available for £450 rtn in peak summer.

There is no sugar coating this, it's a massive failure on the part of GLA management and is part of their wider failure to replace routes and traffic post-covid, whilst many of their UK peers vastly outperform them.

GLA is surely the only airport in Europe that had 3 USA routes served by 3 airlines post-covid and now has none.

The usual excuses blaming the city, other agencies and "lack of promotion" are increasingly paper thin - only a few days ago the New York Times carried an article extolling the virtues of Glasgow to its readers - how ironic.

The new AGS CEO talked a good game in the press a number if months ago, he needs to match that with results. If not, AGS must imo sell up asap.

It wouldn't affect Canadian flights, so we'd still have TS's TATL flight.

Sorry I should have been clear re flights to the USA.

EDI press release just landed. EDI-JFK will be summer seasonal from May to September. The August start would appear to be a red herring.

How many US flights is that now to EDI? Quite impressive I have to say

Peak summer on a Saturday for example = 9 x US departures.

VS - Orlando
UA - Newark x2
UA - Chicago
UA - Washington
DL - Boston
DL - JFK
DL - Atlanta
B6 - JFK

Very impressive. Incredible GLA can't even poach a single flight.....

Even without pre clearance at EDI, GLA has kissed goodbye to the lot for the foreseeable.

It would be interesting to know what kind of inducement, if any, GLA management were offering JetBlue. Whatever it was, or wasn't it's been a massive failure given all the previous speculation by some on this forum (not me) that GLA was in the frame.

Edinburgh are just cramming in airlines to inflate their sale price.
