The Highlights
The volume of flights we handled increased by 7.6% to 2.45 million while we maintained our safety record. The average en route delay per flight increased to 10.9 seconds (2016: 4.3 seconds), reflecting in part higher than expected traffic. We were awarded new ATC and engineering contracts, and renewed and extended existing contracts. However, Edinburgh Airport’s ATC service will transfer to a competitor in March 2018. We also invested in Searidge Technologies, a provider of technology for remote tower services and continue to develop a remotely-operated airport control tower capability at Swanwick.
