I still have some ticket stubs for Southend to Ostend. The front cover shows a Channel Airways Golden Sunjet which is a Trident. The flight was actually on a Viscount. The airport was very busy in those days with Carvairs etc, a lot of flights for sure. Ostend was a great place to have a good time. And, yobs had not been invented then.

By way of example, according to Wikipedia, EDI-LHR is 20th for pax numbers in EU and Norway, but if you include flights to all London airports from EDI (STN, LTN, LGW, LHR and LCY) then this city pair (i.e. Edinburgh and London) is probably higher up the rankings.
The latest official statistics I can find (published 22 December 2008) show that 3,416,600 pax travelled by air between EDI and the five London airports during 2007.

Just a caution on the wikipedia data.
It's related to travel between airport pairs and not cities (as requested by the OP). So for cities such as London, Paris and New York, which have multiple large airports, you're not going to see the full size of their pairings.
