[image align=right]Edinburgh Airport is set to undergo dramatic growth. A masterplan has been published outlining how the airport might develop between now and 2030. Plans have also been published to improve public transport links to the airport. The outline master plan anticipates that, by 2013, the airport could be handling between 12 and 13.7 million passengers a year (up from 8.0 million today), with around 160,000 annual landings and take-offs. Beyond 2013, to 2030, forecasts suggest that up to 26 million people might be using Edinburgh Airport every year, with more than half that number travelling direct to and from a wide range of international destinations, from across Europe, North America and the Middle East. Modifications to the main runway at Edinburgh would be carried out to facilitate larger aircraft travelling on long-haul routes. For more information go to
BAA Edinburgh Airport Masterplan website The Edinburgh Airport Rail Link scheme would provide a direct rail link from the airport to destinations across Scotland including Edinburgh, Glasgow and Fife as well as Linlithgow in West Lothian. For more information go to
Edinburgh Airport Rail Link website The Edinburgh Tram Line Two would provide a service from Edinburgh into the Airport. It would also link the rail service from Bathgate and Livingston directly to the airport via an interchange at Edinburgh Park station. For more information go to
