Edinburgh Airport, part of the VINCI Airports network, has welcomed a record of almost 17 million passengers in a single year – a milestone achieved for the first time ever at a Scottish airport.
Last year, 16,980,588 passengers travelled through Edinburgh Airport. This marks the first time any airport in Scotland has recorded such numbers.
The growth comes as the airport introduced new routes in 2025, including:
• Air Canada introducing a new route to Montréal
• JetBlue’s new summer service to Boston
• The return of American Airlines’ summer service to Philadelphia
• Hainan Airlines’ year-round route to Beijing
• 10 new easyJet routes
The airport has already announced new routes and airlines for 2026, such as American Airlines adding New York to its destinations, as well as extending its Philadelphia service into the winter season, and Luxair entering the Scottish market with its seasonal route to Luxembourg. This year is also set to be an exciting one for the airport as it heads towards a significant expansion project.
