history
The company was founded on March 4, 1986 in Edinburgh with the aim of organizing the airports previously operated by the British state under private law . Initially owned by the British Civil Aviation Authority , it passed into the hands of the Scottish regional government in two steps from 1995 as part of the devolution process .

In the 2015/16 financial year, a total of 1,437,625 passengers were handled at the Group's eleven airports, 6000 more than in the previous year.
