Balfour Beatty progresses £65m Edinburgh Airport terminal expansion
Balfour Beatty is delivering a two-storey terminal expansion adding eight departure gates at Edinburgh Airport, under a contract worth around £65 million and targeted for completion in summer 2027. The work is part of the airport's first-phase capital programme, worth over £500 million across five years, and extends a partnership between the two organisations spanning more than 25 years.
Our readA quarter-century partnership renewing itself contract by contract is Edinburgh Airport's way of buying delivery certainty on a programme that can't afford the re-procurement risk of switching contractors mid-plan.
