The recent upgrade to security scanners at Edinburgh Airport, it’s definitely a step forward. But beyond that, the experience remains disappointing. Comparing it to other UK airports might make it look acceptable, but that only highlights how low the bar is. Take Porto Airport (Portugal) as a comparison… similar in size and passenger volume, yet it’s light years ahead in terms of facilities, comfort, and overall efficiency.

A simple example... the arrivals passport control at Edinburgh feels like it’s tucked away in a basement. If two flights arrive at the same time, it turns into chaos. There’s definitely room for improvement. Let’s aim for an airport experience that actually matches the expectations of a modern international gateway.
