The plans aim to be safer, simpler and more modern.

Changes will include a one-way system, designated walkways and crossings and new lighting,

The works are set to begin in the coming weeks with completion scheduled for summer 2023.

Gail Taylor, Director of Retail and Property at Edinburgh Airport, said: “These improvement works are the most significant we’ve undertaken since the pandemic, marking an important step in our recovery as we invest in a host of areas to create the best passenger experience.

“The transformation of this zone will lead to a brighter, safer and more user-friendly area which will benefit passengers. Works have been carefully planned to take place out with peak periods and although it will mean there are some temporary changes, we hope passengers agree with the improvements we’re making and we thank them for their patience.”
