The contractor will deliver a two-storey terminal expansion, providing eight additional departure gates and increasing airport capacity to support continued passenger growth. The work is part of the first phase of the largest capital investment programme in Edinburgh Airport鈥檚 history, with more than 拢500m to be invested over the next five years.

These individual projects include the 拢8 million Security Futures Project, which saw the installation of state-of-the-art security screening technology, a baggage hall expansion, and modernised fire station upgrades.聽
Nick Rowan, managing director of Balfour Beatty's business in Scotland, said: "As Scotland鈥檚 busiest airport, Edinburgh Airport plays a vital role in supporting the country's economy, international connectivity and future growth, and we are proud to be helping deliver the infrastructure needed for its next chapter.聽
