Edinburgh: New Route Development & Rumours

[Planemad134]

Yes only Philadephia, But united offer Washington, Chicago and Newark while Delta offer Boston and New York, I think though if American were to start a new route it would likely be Dallas Fort Worth.

 

[Jerry]

They recently started Dallas to Dublin if I remember correctly? Another possibility could be that they upgrade PHL to a 767 as I assume it is a 757 at the moment?

 

[Planemad134]

Yes it is a B757 the now, but it will hopefully change for next summer to a widebody.

Ryanair announce new route to Bucharest 3x weekly and increase the following:
Warsaw: 3x weekly to 5x weekly
Gdansk: 3x weekly to 5x weekly
Budapest: 3x weekly to 7x weekly

I would imagine this is in response to Wizzair!

I thought they were going to cut Edinburgh?

I thought they were going to cut Edinburgh?

They cut back their Glasgow base a lot last year? Didn't think they were with Edinburgh?

 

[Planemad134]

They were supposed but it seems they decided against it!

 

[Jerry]

Good!

Reported on the EasyJet and Ryanair thread by Aviador that EasyJet to launch new 2x weekly Verona flights from the 7th of December on Tuesdays and Saturdays and Ryanair to Launch new 2x weekly flights to Bydgoszcz from March 2020.

 

[Jerry]

Good boost for Edinburgh especially from Ryanair as they are making cuts elsewhere.

 

[Planemad134]

Wow Edinburgh is on a roll today as flights to Rotterdam have been announced by Transavia for S20!

Thanks to @SeanM1997 for info!

This is the only route by Transavia from Rotterdam to the UK.

 

[Planemad134]

EasyJet to start new 13x weekly route to Birmingham up against Flybe, well seems like over capacity but great news!

Edinburgh cant stop announcing routes!

 

[Planemad134]

Loganair announce a new route to East Midlands 5x daily on E135/145. This will replace Flybe who will end the route.

 

[Jerry]

I would not be surprised if they end up taking over more routes in the long run.

 

[Seasider]

I think 5 daily may be a little OTT.
