Terminal forecourt changesEdinburgh Airport is making important changes to its terminal forecourt to improve access and reduce congestion. In order to complete this work, access is now restricted to some areas of the forecourt.
Private cars: Signs on the airport approach road direct drivers to use either the Set Down Zone or the Pick Up Zone/car park. Drivers must not enter the green lane, which is for public transport and other authorised vehicles. The Pick Up Zone is on the ground floor of the multi-storey car park, directly opposite the terminal.
Buses: New bus stands immediately in front of the terminal are served by Lothian and Stagecoach buses, and by Long Stay Car Park courtesy buses. All other buses use the coach park (east side of the terminal building).
Taxis: Private taxis and city "black cabs" call at ranks towards the east end of the terminal building. Taxis booked in advance can be found in a separate dedicated rank next to the ground floor of the car park.
