Edinburgh Airport warns of disruption ahead of travel surge

Edinburgh Airport has warned holidaymakers to expect queues and disruption over the summer as it returns to full service. Its CE said the main reason was that staff numbers would not reach pre-pandemic levels in time. The airport's operations were drastically impacted by restrictions over the last two years. Passengers in 2020 and 2021 fell from nearly 15m to 3m, but are forecast to surge this year. The airport has predicted numbers will more than treble in one year. This growth, coupled with tough recruitment markets, has prompted the warning of disruption over the summer.<br/>
