Edinburgh College celebrates opening of brand-new Airport Check-In facility
The College is proud to mark the opening of a brand-new airport check-in facility at the Granton Campus.
The mock terminal, located on the Amber Learning Street on the first floor, will allow our students to get hands-on training in a realistic environment, with the space featuring several check-in desks, a luggage size checker, screens displaying departure times and warning signage similar to that found in a real airport.
The exciting milestone was the culmination of a shared vision, with departments from across Edinburgh College coming together to help create an environment which is both authentic and inspiring.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by staff involved with the project, with James Davies, Assistant Principal for the Centre for Care, Health and Wellbeing, doing the honours and officially opening the facility.
He says it’s a great addition to the College:
“It was fantastic to cut the ribbon on the brand-new check-in facility at the Granton Campus, and I’d like to offer my sincere congratulations to everyone involved in the project, they should all be very proud of their efforts. Realistic working environments are pivotal in helping students develop skills for work, and combined with our aircraft fuselage, these new facilities will be vital in preparing students for their future careers in aviation.”
