The Edinburgh Airport Consultative Committee (EACC) was established by Edinburgh Airport Ltd (EAL) by virtue of its statutory obligation to provide adequate facilities for consultation to a broad cohort of stakeholders on any matter of interest concerning Edinburgh Airport’s management and operation. The EACC is independent of EAL.
Our group is representative of a wide range of interests, including up to 25 appointed members from local authorities, civil aviation bodies, passenger groups, businesses and community groups.
The group is of huge value to the airport, providing fundamental advice and suggestions which help shape the business decisions which define our airport.

The EACC is helping to oversee a full-scale review of the Edinburgh Airport Noise Advisory Board (EANAB) and has established the Review Panel (EANRP) to carry this out. The review follows three years of EANAB activities and comes as the airport and airlines emerge from the Covid crisis and as ICCAN publishes its latest guidelines for airport engagement with communities.
The EANRP has now reported back and that report can be accessed below:
