Sean Connery bid to rename Edinburgh Airport after late Scots icon rejected

A bid to have Edinburgh Airport named after Sean Connery has been rejected.

Fans of the James Bond actor, who died last month at the age of 90, had lobbied airport bosses.

Petition organiser Andrew Morton wrote: “Liverpool has John Lennon airport, Belfast has George Best airport and with the death of one of her most famous sons, Edinburgh should have a Sir Sean Connery airport.”

But an Edinburgh Airport spokesman said: “If we ever consider renaming the airport, then we would have a wealth of famous and historic Scots to consider, and Sean Connery would absolutely be one of those names.

“There are no current plans to do so.”
