Ryanair to resume Edinburgh-Stansted flights from October after three years

Ryanair is to resume flights between Edinburgh and London after three years, which is likely to step up competition with British Airways and EasyJet on Scotland’s busiest air corridor.

The budget airline announced on Friday it would relaunch its route to Stansted, London’s third busiest airport, on October 30 with 14 flights a week.

It was previously a highly significant route for Edinburgh, with its axing in 2019 triggering the airport’s first non-weather fall in monthly passengers for five years.
