Edinburgh airport code: EDI

Edinburgh comes from the same public-domain list, OurAirports, that feeds the airport code lookup: IATA code EDI, ICAO code EGPH, at 55.9501° N, 3.3723° W and 135 ft (41 m) above sea level, with Ingliston, Edinburgh as the place name.

EDI is the first three letters of Edinburgh.

One runway open, two shown as closed

OurAirports lists three runways for Edinburgh, but only one is marked open.

It's 148 ft (45 m) wide and lit. The numbers are compass headings in tens of degrees: the file has 06 pointing about 59 degrees true and 24 about 239, with the 06 end at 110 ft above sea level and the 24 end at 100 ft. The other two in the file are 08 / 26, at 2,621 ft (799 m), and 12 / 30, at 5,730 ft (1,747 m), and OurAirports flags both as closed. Edinburgh Airport's facts and figures page agrees with the open one: it gives one runway, 2560 m long, and one terminal.

What the airport says about itself

Edinburgh's about page calls it Scotland's busiest airport and says it flies to more than 160 destinations. The pages we read don't call it an international airport or define the term, so this page doesn't either.

The code on our own example

EDI is the code on this site's example airport code print. Open the print with EDI filled in and the lines it comes with are EDI, then EDINBURGH · UNITED KINGDOM, then 55.9501° N, 3.3723° W. Change any of them before you order.

Edinburgh's neighbours in the lookup

Four other airports in the lookup lie closest to Edinburgh. The distances are straight lines from the coordinates, not road or flight distances.

For a different code, the lookup takes either code or a place name. Manchester, Gatwick, Birmingham and Heathrow have their own pages. If the print is a gift for a spotter, gifts for plane spotters has the rest of the range, and aviation gifts covers every recipient.
