Glasgow shall be retained by BAA as the airport operator decides to sell Edinburgh. Interesting times and with Prestwick up for sale we shall see if BAA Glasgow try to entice Ryanair away from the ayrshire airport - unlikely as it seems....

BAA to sell Edinburgh Airport

BAA has announced it is to sell Edinburgh Airport following the Competition Commission's order that it must dispose of one of its largest Scottish hubs.

The airports operator announced today that it had decided to keep Glasgow and sell-off Edinburgh, the largest Scottish airport measured by passenger numbers.

BAA said it expects to formally approach the market in the New Year with a view to agreeing a sale by summer 2012.

Chief executive Colin Matthews said: "Edinburgh is a great airport with a great team and a great future and we will be very sorry to see it leave BAA.

"We remain committed to Scotland and we will continue our long-term investment to improve passenger and airline experience at Aberdeen and Glasgow, as well as at Edinburgh until the sale is complete.

"Choosing which airport to sell has been a difficult decision. Edinburgh Airport has shown itself to be a strong and resilient asset throughout the economic downturn.

"Passenger numbers at Edinburgh have grown by more than 6% over the past year and in an uncertain market we expect it to be an attractive asset to prospective buyers.

"Glasgow Airport has great opportunities for future growth and development and we think BAA is well-placed to build on its recent success. Both airports are of national importance and have a bright future."

Edinburgh handles 9.2m passengers a year and more than 100,000 flights operated by about 40 airlines to more than 120 destinations. Glasgow handles only 6.8m passengers and 70,000 flights a year to 90 destinations but, crucially, it attracts more long-haul business than Edinburgh, making it a more attractive proposition to BAA than Edinburgh. Passenger numbers at Glasgow have grown 5.7% since the start of 2011.

Managing director of Edinburgh Airport Jim O'Sullivan said: "Today's announcement brings the clarification that many had been calling for and although we will be sorry to leave BAA, we do so in the knowledge we're in an extremely strong and healthy position.

"Not only has Edinburgh Airport benefited from considerable investment in recent years but we have an excellent team in place which has been the driving force behind our success to date.

"We will now begin preparing for the sale process, but irrespective of who may own it, the team at Edinburgh Airport will undoubtedly continue to deliver for its passengers, the city and Scotland as a whole."

Edinburgh Airport directly employs 485 staff and supports 7,500 jobs across Scotland. BAA invested £42m in the airport departure lounge and security hall in 2010 to attract more long and short-haul flights.

Edinburgh and Glasgow airports are warning of long delays and flight cancellations as severe weather conditions make operations unsafe. Passengers should check with their airline before travelling to the airport.

Emirates will increase its daily service to Dubai from Glasgow. The new daily evening service will be initially operated by an Airbus 340.

Good news for Glasgow.

Airparks Management Limited has entered administration affecting two sites at Gatwick and Glasgow. The Airparks name was leased from Holiday Extras Investments Limited but was owned independently at these two locations.

The Airparks sites at Luton and Birmingham are not affected and neither is the Airparks brand and the http://www.airparks.com website - all of which continue to trade as normal.

The Gatwick site will continue to trade as normal under new management, using the existing Airparks name, and all existing customers will be unaffected, however the site at Glasgow will close. Holiday Extras has secured a new agreement with the Flying Scot car park at Glasgow and will move all existing customers to that location.

Thanks for this info Graham, used them many times some years back at both Gatwick and Luton as they were always very competitive on price (now I'm not so price conscious I tend to use on airport). Shame for people who use Glasgow though as presumably less competition now to keep prices down.

Emirates will operate Airbus 380 into Glasgow on April 10 - one off.

I will be in Malta so will miss it

you could always cancel Malta? lol....it will be interesting to see how the aircraft exits the runway and where it parks,,,

As reported on Ryanair forum, they will start ops from GLA to Dublin and Stansted with further winter flights to destinations in Poland.

This can be seen as a blow to Prestwick airport down the Ayrshire coast.

Lufthansa to commence a weekly (!) service between Munich and Glasgow.
