Airportr, the travel technology company that pioneered Baggage-as-a-Service, enabling checked-in passengers to have their luggage collected from their home or hotel and delivered directly to their flight, has partnered with Edinburgh Airport and easyJet to help the service reach even more passengers.
Available in time for the busy summer holidays, Airportr’s door-to-flight service gives easyJet customers travelling from Edinburgh the option to check in their luggage from home, skip bag drop on departure – and, when travelling to Geneva, have their bags delivered from their flight to their final destination.
Kevin Doyle, easyJet’s UK Country Manager, said: “Making travel as easy as possible for our customers is at the heart of everything we do, which is why we’re really pleased to be introducing Airportr’s services for our customers flying from Edinburgh Airport. With the summer holidays now underway, we want to make the journey as smooth as possible for our customers whether they’re travelling for business or leisure.”
By giving travellers the option to arrive at the airport without luggage, Edinburgh Airport can ease pressure on landside areas, reduce queue lengths at check-in, and gain greater control over passenger flow during peak, high-volume periods.
For an airport that handled a record 16.9 million passengers in 2025 (including 61,636 on a single day in July), with peak-summer days expected to repeatedly surpass last year’s busiest figures throughout the 2026 season, this is a significant operational advantage.
The partnership with Airportr reflects recent investments by Edinburgh Airport in passenger flow, terminal capacity, and the on-airport experience. A £5.8 million redesign of the check-in hall delivered more space and added 50 self-service kiosks ahead of the 2025 summer season. The airport also introduced technology to better analyse and manage curb-to-flight flow management, optimising passenger movement across the terminal.
Peter Barnes, Chief Operating Officer at Edinburgh Airport, said: “We’re always looking at ways to make travel easier for our passengers, and this new service from easyJet and Airportr does exactly that. Being the first airport in Scotland to offer home luggage collection gives passengers even more choice and convenience, particularly during the busy summer period when many people are heading away on holiday.”
