Gordon Dewar, Chief Executive of Edinburgh Airport said: „We’re delighted that November saw such a high number of passengers travelling through our terminal.
„Last month we delivered what we’ve been promising for some time with the announcement of new long-haul services to America, Canada and the Middle East. These will undoubtedly strengthen our route network and provide our passengers with even more choice.
„The next twelve months will be hugely exciting for Scotland. With the Commonwealth Games, Ryder Cup and the Year of Homecoming to look forward there will be even more opportunities to showcase Edinburgh Airport as the place where Scotland meets the world.”
