TAKING FLIGHT Welcome
to the latest issue of Capital magazine. What a summer it’s been – the busiest ever for Edinburgh Airport. We’ve seen record-breaking passenger numbers, with both July and August seeing more than one million people pass through our terminal. This is the first time we have ever experienced this level of passenger throughput in a single month and we’re delighted to have helped so many people on their travels. Thank you for choosing Edinburgh Airport. Accommodating such a huge number of passengers between May and September naturally presented us with challenges but, like always, we rose to these challenges and embraced the change. We worked hard to ensure the passenger remained top priority and I believe this shone through. In addition to our two consecutive ‘million months’, we also celebrated the first anniversary since our new owners GIP came on board. This anniversary allowed us to reflect on the achievements from the previous year, but also gave us a renewed focus and the motivation to work even harder. We’re more dedicated than ever to ensuring the best for our passengers and
in this issue of Capital we’ll give you an insight into the future plans for Edinburgh Airport. Having just announced a new airport extension project and a number of new routes for 2014, it’s a very exciting time for us. As well as being available throughout the terminal, Capital is also available on our website – edinburghairport.com – and on Lothian Buses’ Airlink 100 service. I hope you enjoy this autumn issue of Capital and will join us in looking to the future, which will no doubt be exciting. As always, we’d like to hear from you about what you’d like to see in the magazine, how you’d like to receive it and what you think of this issue. Edinburgh Airport is where Scotland meets the world! Happy reading. Gordon Robertson Director of Communications edinburghairport.com
