Airport Edinburgh (EGPH) IFR PPR

Handling is mandatory at Edinburgh, with Signature Flight Support as the main agent and Greer Aviation also mentioned. Fees are high for general aviation, with examples showing landing about £40, navigation £10, overnight parking £20, and handling £60–£140, all plus VAT; additional charges include a security fee of £90 and a minimum departure fee of £70. Cancellation within 12–24 hours can incur 50–100% of all charges. PPR is required for all movements, with advance submission of flight details to the handling agent for both arrival and departure. The airport is a busy international field with full IFR procedures available.

Facilities for GA are described as excellent, with friendly service, pilot amenities such as free coffee and internet access, and proximity of taxis to aircraft. Avgas is available, and aircraft can be refueled on request during crew absence. The city centre is accessible by taxi in about 15–20 minutes for around £20.

Procedures involve significant administrative steps due to PPR requirements and mandatory handling. Edinburgh offers attractive approaches, including the ILS to runway 24 along the Firth of Forth.

Overall, Edinburgh is suitable for GA but involves high costs and procedural formality; see AIP/NOTAM for operational details.
