Edinburgh Airport is ending the year on a high with record passenger figures.

International passengers increased by almost a fifth in the terminal's "busiest ever" November.

A total of 936,193 passengers used the airport, which was up 8.7% on the same month last year.

International passengers accounted for 509,610, an increase of 18.1% on November 2016, while domestic figures remained steady.

Gordon Dewar, chief executive of Edinburgh Airport, said: "This is yet another record month for the airport and the fact the growth is being mainly driven by international is testament to the fantastic global links that we have.

"By offering greater choice to our passengers, we are making it easier to welcome Scotland to the world and to allow people to go and experience destinations across the globe.

"We're already looking ahead to 2018 with more destinations coming into operation, such as Washington DC, Antalya, Dalaman and Kos. And we'll continue to provide greater options to maintain and strengthen our position as Scotland's busiest airport."
