June 2016 passenger numbers breaks Scottish record
Edinburgh Airport has today announced its latest passenger numbers showing 1,173,953 passengers passed through Edinburgh Airport last month.
This represents a 6.8 per cent increase on the same month last year and is the busiest ever June at a Scottish airport.
Welcoming the passenger numbers, Gordon Dewar, Edinburgh Airport’s Chief Executive, said:
“June’s record breaking passenger numbers make this another great month at Edinburgh Airport.
“Our continual growth underlines the need for Edinburgh Airport to adapt so we can accommodate the ever increasing number of people wanting to fly in and out of Scotland’s Capital city.
“It is for this reason that we are engaged in the initial consultation stage of an Airspace Change Programme and I would encourage everyone to log onto http://www.letsgofurther.com/ and have their say to help the design of future flight path changes.”
