Edinburgh Airport masterplan
The Edinburgh Airport Masterplan 2011 was produced after consideration of all the views and comments received during an extensive national consultation which ran from January to April 2011.
The Masterplan highlights how we aim to grow and develop the airport responsibly over a 30 year period whilst improving the experience for our passengers and enhancing the contribution Edinburgh Airport makes to the regional and national economy. The document along with the associate maps and a summary version can be viewed via the following links:

Property Market Support Bond
The UK Government White Paper, “The Future of Air Transport” (December 2003), asked airport operators to produce a non-statutory voluntary scheme to protect the properties located next to an airport against the potential reduction of property values arising from future airport development plans. Edinburgh Airport subsequently consulted upon the provision of a scheme for Edinburgh Airport during 2004 and the Property Market Support Bond was formally launched in July 2005.

Airport Surface Access Strategy
In February 2007 Edinburgh Airport published its second Surface Access Strategy (ASAS). The strategy introduced ambitious new targets and a range of initiatives, aimed at further increasing the proportion of passengers using public transport to access the airport – so minimising the number of vehicle access journeys per passenger.
The strategy, which covered the period 2007 to 2011, was published at a point when the percentage of passengers travelling by public transport had risen from 16% to 22% in four years. ASAS 2007 set an ambitious target of increasing that proportion to 27% by 2011; current figures show that this target was exceeded by the end of 2011.
Other initiatives including the introduction of bus realtime information and passenger journey planning facilities, and a study to consider the feasibility of creating a new bus interchange facility on the A8, have been undertaken. Additional bus routes have been introduced, whilst existing routes have been enhanced.
Edinburgh Airport is currently consulting on its Surface Access Strategy. The consultation period will close on 23rd July 2012. We welcome any comments on the Consultation Document from both individuals and organisations.
