Gordon Dewar, Chief Executive of Edinburgh Airport said:
“Our growth is coming from international flights, but we can see it is slowing due to policies that restrict our opportunity to grow. We unfortunately predicted this and it should be a concern to see us losing out to our competitors across Europe.
“We’re all in agreement that a sustainable future is key to aviation and actively promoting Scotland’s airports and ensuring direction connections to the world will deliver that through reduced air miles and emissions - government should be prioritising that rather than expansion at other airports in the UK which will directly impact on Scotland’s success.”
