EDI began as a military base during WWI and WWII, and in 1947, the first commercial flights began when service between London and Edinburgh was established by British European Airways. In the 1950s, the runway was extended and a net was secured to keep planes from hitting traffic on a local road if they overran the runway. By 1977, the airport had undergone several changes, including a runway that gave the Concorde enough room to land and a new terminal. The net was removed. Since 1977, the facilities have been updated and expanded to handle the increasing number of travelers.
Parking is available for short- and long-term travelers. Reservations are suggested, but not necessary. Ground transportation includes taxis, buses, trams and trains.
