“We are committed to elevating the travel experience for our passengers, and the opening of this brand-new Escape Lounge – the first of its kind in Scotland – is another significant step forward for us,” said Gail Taylor, Chief Commercial Officer (XAero), Edinburgh Airport. “We’re particularly proud of how Edinburgh and Scotland are reflected throughout the lounge, ensuring our passengers enjoy a final taste of Scotland before they depart. We look forward to welcoming them and helping them start their journey in a relaxed and comfortable setting.”

The lounge’s design draws heavily on Edinburgh’s character, with artistic representations of the city – from the medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town to the vibrant waterfront of Leith.
