Edinburgh Airport (IATA :EDI ,ICAO :EGPH ) is aninternational airport located in theIngliston area ofEdinburgh , Scotland. It is located 5 NM (9.3 km; 5.8 mi)[ 1] west of the city centre, just off theM8 andM9 motorways. It is owned and operated by Edinburgh Airport Limited.[ 3]
The airport is the busiest airport in Scotland based on passenger numbers, with 14.4 million passengers flying from the airport in 2023, a 28% increase on passenger numbers from 2022. A total of 35 airlines use the airport to fly to over 152 international destinations.[ 4] During 2024, Edinburgh Airport experienced its busiest year in terms of passenger numbers, with a total of 15 million passengers. It also marked the busiest year for any Scottish airport in history.[ 5] As well as being the busiest airport in Scotland, Edinburgh Airport is thesixth busiest airport in the United Kingdom .[ 6]
In 1916,Turnhouse Aerodrome opened as the northernmost British air defence base inWorld War I used by theRoyal Flying Corps .[ 7]
In 1918, the Royal Air Force was formed and the airfield was namedRAF Turnhouse and ownership was transferred to theAir Ministry .[citation needed ]
From 1925, the small base was used to house the603 (City of Edinburgh) Squadron , which consisted ofDH 9As ,Westland Wapitis ,Hawker Harts , andHawker Hind light bombers. All the aircraft used a grass airstrip.[citation needed ]
In 1939, when theSecond World War broke out,RAF Fighter Command took control over the airfield and a runway of 3,900 ft (1,189 m) was paved to handle theSupermarine Spitfire . During theBattle of Britain ,3 ,65 , and141 Squadrons were present at the airbase.[citation needed ]
Post-Second World War [ edit ] After 1945, when WW2 ended, the airfield remained under military control. It was officially opened for commercial traffic on 19 May 1947. The first commercial flight to use the airport was aBritish European Airways service from London (Northolt ) toShetland , with Edinburgh andAberdeen being intermediate stopping points. The aircraft was an 18-seat Douglas C47.[ 8]
On 1 April 1971, theBritish Airports Authority (BAA) took over ownership of the airport, at a time when the original terminal building was running at about eight times its design capacity. Immediate improvements to the terminal were cosmetic, such as extra seating and TV monitors for flight information, and it took two years for plans to be proposed for a completely new terminal and runway redesign. Public consultation on planning started in November 1971 and ended in February 1972. The initial stages of the redevelopment began in June 1973; they included a diversion of the River Almond. Work on the new terminal building, designed bySir Robert Matthew , started in March 1975, and the building was officially opened byQueen Elizabeth II on 27 May 1977.[ 9]
International service from Edinburgh began in 1962 with direct service toDublin , but for many years international flights were charter and private only. This started to change during the late 1970s, with direct services to continental Europe (Amsterdam , 1975). By the mid-1980s, direct routes includedParis ,Düsseldorf ,Brussels ,Frankfurt andCopenhagen , but direct transatlantic flights were not yet possible asGlasgow-Prestwick was the only "designated gateway" in Scotland under the US-UKBermuda II Agreement .[ 10] By the time BAA had been privatised in 1987, Edinburgh Airport handled over 1.8 million passengers each year; compared to the 681,000 passengers handled in 1971 when BAA first took control of the airport.[ 11]
RAF Turnhouse was operational near the passenger terminal of the airport for all of the post-war period but was finally closed in 1997.[ 12]
On 19 October 2011, BAA Limited announced its intention to sell the airport, following a decision by the UK'sCompetition Commission requiring BAA to sell eitherGlasgow Airport or Edinburgh Airport.[ 13] BAA announced on 23 April 2012 that it had sold Edinburgh Airport toGlobal Infrastructure Partners (GIP) for a price of £807.2 million, equivalent to £1204 million in 2023.[ 14]
Edinburgh Airport from the air. In 2013, a further extension to the passenger terminal was announced, taking the terminal building up to the Edinburgh Airport tram stop. TheEdinburgh Trams opening in May 2014 created the first rail connection to Edinburgh Airport. Whilst the number of passengers has increased, the number of flights decreased in 2014 due to planes operating at a higher capacity.[ 15] Passenger traffic at Edinburgh Airport reached a record level in 2015 with over 11.1 million passengers[ 16] and over 109,000 aircraft movements.[ 2]
A new £25million[failed verification ] expansion project involving the construction of a new 6,000 m2 (65,000 sq ft)[failed verification ] building, housing a security hall and retail areas, was also completed[when? ] .[ 17]
In February 2016, consultancy firm Biggar Economics announced that Edinburgh Airport contributes almost £1 billion annually to the Scottish economy.[ 18] As part of the expansion works, Runway 12/30 was officially withdrawn from use on 29 March 2018.[ 19]
On 17 April 2024,Vinci SA announced that it had reached an agreement with GIP to acquire a 50.01% shareholding of the airport for £1.27 billion, with GIP retaining 49.99%.[ 20] [ 21] [ 22] [ 23] The transaction was concluded on 25 June 2024.[ 24] [ 25]
In December 2024, Edinburgh Airport became the first inScotland to record over 15 million passengers in a calendar year.[ 26]

Accidents and incidents [ edit ] On 20 July 1970, aHawker Siddeley HS-125 -3B (G-AXPS) operated by the Imperial Tobacco Company crashed on takeoff from Turnhouse on an empty positioning flight toNewcastle . The aircraft was a total loss and whilst the pilot was uninjured, the copilot was declared dead on arrival at the hospital. The probable cause of the crash was thought to be the application of an incorrect rudder following a simulated engine failure on take-off. The reason for this application of an incorrect rudder has not been determined.[ 128] [ 129] ADe Havilland Moth Minor (G-AFOZ) crashed at Turnhouse during a low-level display on 3 May 1975. One of the two occupants died in the hospital the following day.[ 130] On 27 February 2001,Loganair flight 670A , aShorts 360 (G-BNMT) operating aRoyal Mail flight toBelfast , crashed into theFirth of Forth shortly after taking off from Edinburgh at 1730 GMT. Both crew members were killed, but there were no passengers on board. A fatal accident inquiry later blamed a buildup ofslush in the aircraft's engines before the crash. A protective covering had not been fitted to the engine intakes while the aircraft was parked at Edinburgh for several hours in heavy snow.[ 131] [ 132] ^ Number of passengers, freight and mail include both domestic and international counterparts. ^ Number of movements represents total aircraft takeoffs and landings during that year. ^a b "NATS – AIS – Home" .Ead-it.com .
