🔗 Share this article Air Travel Restarts at Scotland's Busiest Airport After Significant Air Traffic Control Outage A technical fault at the airport's ATC meant no aircraft could enter or leave the airport. Passenger services have resumed at Edinburgh Airport following a substantial technical issue at the control tower brought the international hub to a standstill. All incoming and outgoing flights were halted because of an IT issue that arose around 08:30. Several flyers found themselves stranded in jets at the stand during the disruption. Operations Restart with Continued Disruption Officials announced at 10:40 that services were back online, and expressed gratitude to passengers for their "cooperation and patience". That said, ongoing issues are likely to persist for some time. Services bound for London Gatwick, Bristol, Amsterdam and Frankfurt have been cancelled, with many others experiencing delays. Officials had earlier anticipated that a significant number of movements could be affected. "Passengers are advised to contact their airlines for the current status on their individual travel plans," was the consistent advice. Root of the Disruption The airport attributed the widespread suspension to an technical fault with its ATC service provider. Flyers continue to be advised to check the status of their trip before departing to the terminal as backlogs are worked through.
