We are already booked for June 22 from Edinburgh with TUI for Little Prince ! Why would the capital of Scotland need TUI !!! Ridiculous if true Winkie x

Jimbo:
I think the fate of regional hubs is very much in the balance, unfortunately. I would rank Edinburgh as far higher in the importance stakes than Newcastle or Leeds. As a capital city, it's hardly even regional! Mind you, closing a base does not mean the extinction of service: just no planes and crews sited there. It takes 20 minutes to fly a plane in from Glasgow to provide a flight.

That’s true Jimbo, hopefully services will still be available.

Jimbo:
I'm sure they will. It's expensive keeping planes and crew in an area - plus the maintenance people and equipment.
