plus it’s ideal for non Americans but with all bar MCO being predominately Americans onboard it’s usefulness is reduced
I believe EDI is being considered for a pilot scheme, where pax departing to US destinations would go through enhanced type screening in an area next to the current security area. They would then be allowed to access the main departure lounge and mingle, without the requirement to enter a separate secured area prior to boarding. This would obviously suit EDI and help to keep the costs down. It’s also been reported that the pilot scheme could run alongside the US MPC scheme. This in theory would dramatically cut down the time to process pax. Given that the majority of pax using services to/from EDI are US citizens, only a small percentage of pax would need to go through enhanced screening.
