THE head of Glasgow airport is moving to Edinburgh to run Scotland’s busiest terminal in the latest shake-up at BAA.
Gordon Dewar has been interim managing director of the east-coast airport since its previous MD was promoted last month.
He has been in charge at Glasgow airport since last year, including during the failed terrorist attack in June.
Dewar takes over full-time at the capital’s airport in September, when Glasgow airport’s former customer service director, Amanda McMillan, succeeds him as MD.
Edinburgh airport is currently in the ascendency, with 9.1 million passengers a year and a 4.3 per cent annual growth rate. This is likely to be fuelled further by major expansion from Ryanair.
By contrast, Glasgow is suffering a significant reduction in its charter traffic and has seen passenger numbers shrink by 3.6 per cent a year to 8.5 million.
