The airport partners with a different charity every year to raise funds while boosting awareness of the cause involved to the estimated 14 million people who pass annually through the terminal.

This year it has been working with disabled children’s charity The Yard, with staff taking part in events such as sponsored runway perimeter runs, sky dives, bake sales and volunteering at the charity’s Edinburgh base.

Earlier this week the airport and its 2018 partner, Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA), were awarded Best Partner Relationship from the Institute of Fundraising.

SCAA gained support from the deal said to have been worth £100,000.

Edinburgh Airport chief executive Gordon Dewar said: “We’ve raised more than £300,000 for charities across Scotland since we started our partnership scheme in 2012.

“It always makes me proud to see just how much our staff take the charity of the year to their hearts, coming up with a range of ways to support it.
