Edinburgh Airport (EDI) is Scotland’s busiest airport, having been the first in the country to handle over 15 million passengers in a single year. It is currently undergoing the largest investment programme in its history, a £500 million, five-year expansion that will enlarge the terminal and add new gates, which means parts of the airport will look different from one visit to the next over the coming years.

Premium VIP Assistance at Edinburgh Airport
Airport VIP Assistance
Our professional airport VIP assistance service is designed to simplify your journey through Edinburgh Airport, from arrival to departure.
Depending on the service booked, assistance can include check-in support, security coordination, baggage handling, and escort to the gate or lounge.
Airport Meet and Greet
A dedicated representative can meet travelers at the agreed location curbside, arrivals, or the gate and provide personalized assistance based on the itinerary.
Our airport meet and greet service is designed for travelers who want professional guidance rather than navigating Edinburgh Airport alone, which is particularly useful while construction work is under way around the terminal.
Airport Concierge Service
Our airport concierge services provide personalized travel support for executives, VIP guests, families, and complex itineraries passing through Edinburgh.
Concierge support can help coordinate transportation, baggage assistance, airport arrangements, and special travel requirements, subject to local availability.
In September 2026, Edinburgh Airport announced a five-year, £500 million investment programme the largest in the airport’s history. The plan includes a 60% increase in the terminal’s footprint, an expanded departure lounge and check-in hall, and eight additional departure gates delivered through the South East Pier Expansion, which is scheduled to fully open in summer 2027.
Because this is a multi-year programme, travelers may encounter temporary signage, revised walking routes, or construction activity around parts of the terminal during their visit. A representative who is familiar with the current layout can make navigating these changes considerably easier, particularly for travelers unfamiliar with the airport or visiting for the first time since the work began.
Private Airport Transfers
A private transfer can provide a comfortable connection between Edinburgh Airport and your hotel, residence, business location, or another destination in Edinburgh and across Scotland.
Our private airport transfer service is designed to provide door-to-door transportation with professional drivers and coordinated pickup arrangements.
