Edinburgh Airport has unveiled a new masterplan that is designed to help guide the future development of the site over the coming years.

The airport plans to consult with local residents, communities and businesses to ensure its proposals help to encourage economic growth in Edinburgh and Scotland as a whole. Plans for the construction of a additional runway at Edinburgh Airport have been pushed back and will not be considered before 2020, according to the document.

The publication of the masterplan comes as it was revealed that Scottish transport minister Keith Brown will invite airport operators to discuss how to deal with winter weather. Brown has already met with Edinburgh Airport managing director Kevin Brown to develop a 'winter resilience action programme', which aims to keep Scottish airports open in times of severe weather.
