Mitie has secured a five-year contract to handle ground maintenance at Edinburgh Airport, which serves over 14 million passengers annually. The contract includes landscaping tasks such as lawn care, tree and shrub maintenance, litter collection, and weed control across the airport's extensive grounds. Additionally, Mitie will provide winter maintenance services, including gritting car parks, walkways, and roads.
A key focus of the contract is sustainability, with plans to use more environmentally friendly methods, such as white marine salt for gritting and eliminating plastic use. Mitie aims to enhance biodiversity by introducing sustainable planting and wildflower areas. This contract reinforces Mitie’s role in the UK aviation sector, where they already offer various services at several major airports.
