New Edinburgh Airport owner pledges to tackle passengers' number one gripe

The new French owner of Edinburgh Airport has pledged to focus on its security queues as its acquisition of a £1.27 billion majority stake in Scotland’s busiest terminal was confirmed.

VINCI’s vow came as seller Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), which retains a 49.99 per cent stake, said the airport’s new security lanes would be the “best in the world”.
