New departure lounge opened
20.11.09
Edinburgh Airport has opened its new multi-million-pound departure lounge. The £40m facelift is part of the biggest single development project in the airport's 32-year history, designed to allow the airport to cope with the 13 million passengers expected to pass through the airport every year by 2013.
The expanded departure lounge includes two new restaurants, takeaway and delicatessen. A total of 450 additional seats have been installed and the popular view of the runway and airfield – lost during the works – has been returned.
Edinburgh Airport managing director Gordon Dewar said: ‘This is a historic moment. With more and more people passing through our airport, it is right to invest now in expanding the terminal building.’
