Community and environment
Community matters to Edinburgh Airport. We have a strong commitment to the communities around our airport and aim to address issues of prime local concern. Each quarter we publish a community newsletter detailing the latest community and environment news.
In response to local requests, the airport established a freephone 24 hour telephone line for residents to raise concerns about noise. This was followed with the introduction of noise fining, whereby aircraft that break stated noise thresholds are fined depending on the level of infringement. In 2009 we launched a consultation on a Noise Insulation Scheme for those properties most affected by noise and we started insulating homes in 2010.
Every year we publish a Corporate Social Responsibilty report to communicate our performance. Our latest report, highlighting our 2010 performance, is available to view online.
Edinburgh Airport operates a Community Fund, which was established in 2006. This fund aims to help projects and good causes local to the airport covering education, the environment and sport. The Fund is administered by the Community Forum, a group made up of airport staff and community representatives.
In 2011, Edinburgh Airport donated just over £83,000 to a number of local charities and organisations.
