Edinburgh Airport

Edinburgh Airport is about 9 km (6 miles) west of the city center, at Ingliston near the M8 and M9 motorways. The tram and the Airlink 100 bus both take about 30 minutes to reach the center, and a taxi takes about 25 minutes, depending on traffic and the time of day.

Yes. The airport is within the City of Edinburgh area, at Ingliston on the western edge of the city, about 9 km (6 miles) from the center. It is outside the built-up core, so travelers take the tram, a bus, a taxi or a car to reach the Old Town, New Town or Leith.

Edinburgh Airport has a single terminal used by all domestic and international flights, so there are no terminal changes to plan. The tram stop and bus stops are on the plaza right outside, and the taxi rank is a short walk away in the East Terminus, following the signs from arrivals.

easyJet, Ryanair and Jet2.com run the largest networks across Europe. British Airways flies to London, and Loganair serves the Scottish islands and other UK points. Long-haul carriers include Emirates, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, Air Canada, WestJet, Icelandair and seasonal Virgin Atlantic flights to Orlando.

The official taxi rank is in the East Terminus, a short walk from arrivals. Leave the terminal through the plaza with the large Edinburgh sign and follow the taxi signs. The rank is operated exclusively by Capital Cars, and the trip to the city center takes about 25 minutes, depending on traffic.

The tram stop is right outside the terminal next to the plaza. Trams run every 7 minutes for much of the day and every 10 minutes early and late, reaching the city center in about 30 minutes before continuing to Newhaven. The first tram leaves at 06:30 and the last at 22:52.

The Airlink 100, run by Lothian Buses, links Edinburgh Airport with Waverley Bridge in the city center, next to Waverley station, in about 30 minutes. It leaves from stop A every 8 to 10 minutes for most of the day and continues through the night at lower frequency, making it useful when trams are not running.

Uber pick-ups at Edinburgh Airport use the pick-up zone on the ground floor of the multi-storey car park, just outside the terminal. Follow the signs from arrivals and request the ride as you head there. The trip to the city center usually takes about 20 to 25 minutes, depending on traffic.

Most visa-exempt visitors need a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), including EU nationals, and it applies to everyone traveling, including children. British and Irish passport holders do not need one. The UK is not in the Schengen Area, so international arrivals go through UK border control. Check the official UK government guidance before you travel.

Scottish Citylink runs coaches from Edinburgh Airport to Glasgow, so you do not need to go into Edinburgh first. You can also take the tram to Edinburgh Park or Edinburgh Gateway and change to trains, or travel by taxi, rental car or pre-booked transfer along the M8 motorway.

Ember coaches run from the airport to Fife, Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness and Fort William, and Stagecoach South Scotland also runs buses to Fife, where St Andrews is located. Scottish Citylink also runs to Stirling and Oban. A rental car or private transfer suits travelers going directly to rural Highland or coastal destinations.

Scotland uses the pound sterling, including notes issued by Scottish banks. Edinburgh is on Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) and moves to British Summer Time (UTC+1) from late March to late October. The weather is cool and changeable all year, so a waterproof layer is useful in every season.

Edinburgh Airport handled almost 17 million passengers in 2025, a record for the airport and up from about 15.8 million in 2024. It is operated by Edinburgh Airport Limited, majority owned by Vinci since 2024, and has one main runway of 2,558 m.
