Taxi drivers banned from Edinburgh Airport

A number of taxi drivers have been banned from Edinburgh Airport for blocking an exit road for buses and coaches. 62 taxis have received a three-month ban after falling foul of the airport's rules on waiting for fares.

The rank is one of the city's busiest but has only 22 spaces. This means a number of cabs queue on the road in front of the terminal building and cause congestion and block the path of buses and emergency vehicles.
