Technical Asset
Our Technical Asset division is made up of Engineering, Projects, and IT. These teams work closely with one another, and with other departments across the airport. Each of these functions are vitally important in a busy airport environment, keeping our assets and equipment safe and in good working order.
Engineering: Our Engineering look after a wide range of airport equipment – from runway systems to x-ray machines – in order to ensure they’re always in-use and available throughout the day-to-day running of the airport operation.
Projects: Our Capital Projects guides the business as it undertakes change, managing projects from start to finish – whether it be the creation of a solar farm on the airfield or the implementation of a new security or baggage system.
IT: Our IT team is integral to the successful and smooth operation of Edinburgh Airport. IT systems are at the core of everything that happens at Edinburgh Airport, whether it be the movement of people, planes or bags.
