Edinburgh Airport {{airport codes|EDI|EGPH}} is an international airport located in the Ingliston area of Edinburgh, Scotland. It is located {{convert|5|NM|abbr=on|lk=in}} west of the city centre, just off the M8 and M9 motorways. It is owned and operated by Edinburgh Airport Limited.{{Cite web |title=Edinburgh Airport Limited - Annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 |url=https://assets.ctfassets.net/2hwzhse7szu0/2W2CN2zJUuXBbrbnqpbSec/1d0f084fc79eea0a1bcee70cd26f37a5/EAL_FY23_financial_results.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241125063735/https://assets.ctfassets.net/2hwzhse7szu0/2W2CN2zJUuXBbrbnqpbSec/1d0f084fc79eea0a1bcee70cd26f37a5/EAL_FY23_financial_results.pdf |archive-date=25 November 2024 |archive-format=PDF |access-date=21 January 2025 |website=Edinburgh Airport }}
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.

History
=Early years=
{{main|RAF Turnhouse}}
Turnhouse Aerodrome was the northernmost British air defence base in World War I used by the Royal Flying Corps. The small base opened in 1916{{cite web |language =en |url =https://corporate.edinburghairport.com/about-us/edinburgh-airport-history |title =Edinburgh Airport history |work =Edinburgh Airport |df =dmy-all |access-date =15 April 2024 |archive-date =12 April 2024 |archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20240412185518/https://corporate.edinburghairport.com/about-us/edinburgh-airport-history |url-status =live }} and it was used to house the 603 (City of Edinburgh) Squadron from 1925, which consisted of DH 9As, Westland Wapitis, Hawker Harts, and Hawker Hind light bombers. All the aircraft used a grass airstrip.
In 1918, the Royal Air Force was formed and the airfield was named RAF Turnhouse and ownership was transferred to the Air Ministry.
When the Second World War broke out, RAF Fighter Command took control over the airfield and a runway of {{Convert|3900|ft|abbr=on|0}} was paved to handle the Supermarine Spitfire. During the Battle of Britain, 3, 65, and 141 Squadrons were present at the airbase.
=Post-Second World War=
When the war 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 a British European Airways service from London (Northolt) to Shetland, with Edinburgh and Aberdeen being intermediate stopping points. The aircraft was an 18-seat Douglas C47.{{cite news |title=Edinburgh's Airport Opened: Direct London-Shetland Air Link |work=The Scotsman |date=20 May 1947 |location=Edinburgh |page=5}}
In 1952, the runway was extended to 6000 ft to handle the Vampire FB5s operated by the resident 603 Squadron, and an aircraft arresting barrier net was installed to protect traffic on the adjacent A9 road.{{citation needed|date=March 2023}} The net remained in place until the early 1970s and was used to stop one of the Ferranti Flying Unit Buccaneers which had overrun the runway. A further use was in 1970 when a Meteor TT20, operated by the RN Fleet Requirement Unit, overran the runway and ended up in the net. In 1956, a new passenger terminal was built to provide an improved commercial service; five years later it was extended.{{citation needed|date=March 2023}} After the disbandment of the 603 Squadron in March 1957, the Air Ministry transferred ownership to the Ministry of Aviation in 1960 to offer improved commercial service to the airport. Flying was temporarily diverted to East Fortune, which had its runway extended to accommodate the airliners of the period.{{citation needed|date=December 2016}}

The British Airports Authority (BAA) took over ownership of the airport on 1 April 1971 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 by Sir Robert Matthew, started in March 1975, and the building was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 27 May 1977,{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=QpZAAAAAIBAJ&pg=5046%2C5816343 |title=Queen will be first to use air terminal |work=The Glasgow Herald |date=27 May 1977 |access-date=26 November 2017 |archive-date=5 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220105150220/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=QpZAAAAAIBAJ&pg=5046,5816343 |url-status=live }} opening to the public two days later.
Although the original main runway 13/31 (which is now 12/30) served the airport well, its alignment (NW-SE) had the disadvantage of suffering from severe crosswinds, and the other two minor runways were very short and could not be readily extended, so movements were transferred to a new runway (07/25, which has since become 06/24) in an addition completely outside the original airfield boundary. This runway, completed in 1977, is {{Convert|2556|m|abbr=on|0}} in length, and was able to take all modern airliners including Concorde. A new terminal was built alongside the runway to cater for the additional traffic. The old terminal and hangars were converted into a cargo centre.
International service from Edinburgh began in 1962 with direct service to Dublin, 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 included Paris, Düsseldorf, Brussels, Frankfurt and Copenhagen, but direct transatlantic flights were not yet possible as Glasgow-Prestwick was the only "designated gateway" in Scotland under the US-UK Bermuda II Agreement.{{cite web|url=http://www.airspacelaw.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/bermudaII.pdf|title=Agreement Between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the United States of America Concerning Air Services|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724230916/http://www.airspacelaw.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/bermudaII.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=24 July 2011|date=24 July 2011}} 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.Edinburgh Airport: A History; McCloskey, Keith; 2006.
RAF Turnhouse was operational near the passenger terminal of the airport for all of the post-war period but was finally closed in 1997.{{cite web|title=Site Record for Edinburgh, RAF Turnhouse|url=http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/70030/details/edinburgh+raf+turnhouse+airfield/|work=Canmore|publisher=RCAHMS|access-date=8 January 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131002051925/http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/70030/details/edinburgh+raf+turnhouse+airfield/|archive-date=2 October 2013|url-status=live}}
Since the original terminal upgrade in 1977, there have been major reconstructions, including extensions of the two passenger terminal aprons and a major expansion of car parking facilities, including a multi-storey car park in 2004. In 2005, a new {{Convert|57|m|ft|adj=mid|-tall}} air traffic control tower was completed for £10m. An extension to the terminal called the South East Pier opened in September 2006. This extension initially added six gates on a new pier to the southeast of the original building. A further four gates were added to the South East Pier at the end of 2008.
On 19 October 2011, BAA Limited announced its intention to sell the airport, following a decision by the UK's Competition Commission requiring BAA to sell either Glasgow Airport or Edinburgh Airport.{{cite web|url=http://www.baa.com/portal/page/BAA%20Airports%5EMedia%20centre%5ENews%20releases%5EResults/88e1489a94913310VgnVCM10000036821c0a____/a22889d8759a0010VgnVCM200000357e120a____/|title=Heathrow: About us – Heathrow|website=Baa.com|access-date=20 October 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120204080626/http://www.baa.com/portal/page/BAA%20Airports%5EMedia%20centre%5ENews%20releases%5EResults/88e1489a94913310VgnVCM10000036821c0a____/a22889d8759a0010VgnVCM200000357e120a____/|archive-date=4 February 2012|url-status=live}} BAA announced on 23 April 2012 that it had sold Edinburgh Airport to Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) for a price of £807.2 million, equivalent to £{{inflation|UK|807.2|2012}} million in {{Inflation/year|UK}}.{{cite web|url=http://www.baa.com/media-centre/press-releases/baa-announces-sale-of-edinburgh-airport|title=Press Releases|author=Heathrow|website=Baa.com|access-date=23 April 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120511171410/http://www.baa.com/media-centre/press-releases/baa-announces-sale-of-edinburgh-airport|archive-date=11 May 2012|url-status=live}}

In 2013, a further extension to the passenger terminal was announced, taking the terminal building up to the Edinburgh Airport tram stop. The Edinburgh 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.^ CAA: UK Annual Airport Statistics Passenger traffic at Edinburgh Airport reached a record level in 2015 with over 11.1 million passengers{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-35282128 |title=Edinburgh Airport hails record year |work=BBC News |date=11 January 2016 |access-date=21 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181124114229/https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-35282128 |archive-date=24 November 2018 |url-status=live}} and over 109,000 aircraft movements.
The terminal building was expanded as a result of an investment of £40million. A new £25million expansion project involving the construction of a new 6,000 m2 building, housing a security hall and retail areas, was also completed.{{cite web |title=Edinburgh Airport's new owner |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjjw320d861o |website=BBC News |access-date=24 December 2024 |date=27 June 2024}} On 23 February 2016, Ryanair announced a growth of 20% in passenger numbers, bringing the airline's annual passenger capacity at Edinburgh Airport to 2.5 million. This was coupled with the news of six new services to Ryanair's winter schedule from Edinburgh and more services on its popular European destinations.
In February 2016, consultancy firm Biggar Economics announced that Edinburgh Airport contributes almost £1 billion annually to the Scottish economy.{{cite web |url=https://www.airportparkingmarket.co.uk/edinburgh-airport-boost/ |title=Edinburgh Airport Brings in the Bucks |work=Airport Parking Market |date=26 April 2016 |access-date=26 April 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160513001917/https://www.airportparkingmarket.co.uk/edinburgh-airport-boost/ |archive-date=13 May 2016 |url-status=live}} As part of the expansion works, Runway 12/30 was officially withdrawn from use on 29 March 2018.{{cite news |title=Edinburgh Airport's second runway closes |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-43594666 |date=30 March 2018 |archive-date=5 August 2024 |access-date=5 August 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240805131535/https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-edinburgh-east-fife-43594666 |url-status=live }}

Accidents and incidents
- On 20 July 1970, a Hawker Siddeley HS-125-3B (G-AXPS) operated by the Imperial Tobacco Company crashed on takeoff from Turnhouse on an empty positioning flight to Newcastle. 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.{{cite web|url=https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5423033ce5274a1317000c09/9-1972_G-AXPS.pdf|title=HS 125 Series 3B G-AXPS Report on the accident at Turnhouse Airport Edinburgh on 20 July 1970|website=Assets.publishing.service.gov.uk|access-date=25 June 2022|archive-date=19 July 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220719031344/https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5423033ce5274a1317000c09/9-1972_G-AXPS.pdf|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19700720-1|title=ASN Aircraft accident Hawker Siddeley HS-125-3B G-AXPS Edinburgh-Turnhouse Airport (EDI)|first=Harro|last=Ranter|website=aviation-safety.net|access-date=24 December 2019|archive-date=27 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201027124105/https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19700720-1|url-status=live}}
- A De 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.{{cite web|url=https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=18787|title=Accident de Havilland DH.94 Moth Minor G-AFOZ, 03 May 1975|first=Harro|last=Ranter|website=aviation-safety.net|access-date=6 March 2020|archive-date=23 December 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191223160051/https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=18787|url-status=live}}
- On 27 February 2001, Loganair flight 670A, a Shorts 360 (G-BNMT) operating a Royal Mail flight to Belfast, crashed into the Firth 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 of slush 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.Scotsman: [http://news.scotsman.com/topics.cfm?tid=153&id=1252812003 Pilots praised as sheriff confirms snow caused crash] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040920074221/http://news.scotsman.com/topics.cfm?tid=153&id=1252812003 |date=20 September 2004}}, News.scotsman.com, 13 November 2003.{{cite web|url=http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20010227-0|title=ASN Aircraft accident Shorts 360-100 G-BNMT Granton Harbour|author=Harro Ranter|date=27 February 2001|website=Aviation-safety.net|access-date=5 March 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110514080725/http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20010227-0|archive-date=14 May 2011|url-status=live}}
