However, with the relaxation of restrictions in 2022, passenger numbers rebounded significantly to reach 11.25 million and continued rising to 14.4 million in 2023.
In December last year, Edinburgh Airport announced that it had broken the 15-million-passenger mark for the first time ever in Scottish history during 2024. CEO Gordon Dewar commented: "It’s great to hit this major passenger milestone that shows the clear interest that people have in tourism and travel."
Several factors contributed to this record year including concerts and sports events such as Taylor Swift's Eras Tour and UEFA Euro 2024 tournament flights as well as new routes like JetBlue's service to New York JFK Airport.
For this year (2025), Edinburgh Airport anticipates further growth with new routes being introduced by American Airlines and Austrian Airlines among others while expanding facilities like check-in areas along with food options.
Last year's load factor suggests around an expected total of approximately sixteen-point-seven-million guests passing through Edinburgh’s gates throughout this current period based upon available seat
