[edit] History

I am not quite sure what "which is has since become 06/24" means in this section.--C. Trifle 21:47, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rivalry

Please note that there is a significant rivalry between the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and aviation fans on the internet have taken this to a new and bitter level.

Please be very suspicious of any blatantly pro- or anti- Glasgow changes made here. To keep a NPOV, this article should not discuss Glasgow at all except in passing.

There is real political debate about the future of Scotland's airports but any statement that airport X will get future investment instead of airport Y, or that airport D is better than airport C because it has B is basically an opinion and does not belong in an encyclopedia page. Please don't let this article turn into (yet another) edinburgh/glasgow bickering ground (see: alt.airports.uk.edinburgh).

I have to say it but I can see this article (and the Glasgow one) having to be locked at some point in the future now that its existence has been mentioned on alt.airports.uk.edinburgh

The history of the airport is wrong in several respects. The orignal terminal, now the cargo terminal, was sited on the East side of the airport on the old runway. This was designed by Robert Matthew. The new terminal and runway were built in the late 70's a mile to the West. The airport was running passenger services to the continent way before the 'official' opening of the airport - I know because I flew to Paris from Edinburgh in the mid 70's.

[edit] Future Services

I've added a section under the main destination section - please add future destinations there, and not into the main list itself. Thanks/wangi 16:54, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
