Edinburgh Airport

This project had three essential elements:

•  To provide the recommended length safety zones at both ends of the main runway to meet the latest proposed UK and International safety standards and comply with current industry ‘best practice’. This will provide a significantly improved ‘overshoot’ and ‘undershoot’ area.

•  To refurbish, strengthen and resurface the main 08/26 runway and some of the taxiways, as part of an on-going programme of maintenance.

•  To pave the newly provided RESAs in order to provide starter strips to take a small operational advantage to the runway length, particularly the landing distance available, supporting the Airport’s ability to manage and grow air services into the future.
