The initiative, which seeks to ensure that authentic, sustainable Scottish food and drink is available through the airport’s retail partners, has been welcomed by Colin Keir MSP for Edinburgh Airport.
Colin Keir MSP said: “This is fabulous news and it an important step by the airport as Edinburgh Airport as Scotland’s busiest airport is a premier gateway to Scotland. It is therefore appropriate that it seeks to showcase the range and quality of Scottish food and drink through its retail offer.
