www.itv.comHere are the latest updates I can share:
Edinburgh Airport had flights temporarily suspended due to an IT issue affecting its air traffic control provider, with operations resuming later the same day. This caused cancellations and knock-on delays for several destinations, though services gradually returned to normal as systems were restored. If you’re traveling soon, check with your airline and the airport’s live boards for the latest status.
Typical impacts during such outages included some flights being cancelled to London Gatwick, Bristol, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt, plus delays to other routes; some passengers experienced aircraft on the runway during the disruption. Airlines and the airport advised passengers to monitor official updates for real-time information.[2]
The airport later stated that flights had resumed following the IT issue and thanked passengers for their patience, though residual delays and cancellations could persist as the network stabilized. For ongoing travel plans, direct airline communications remain the best source of up-to-date details.[4]
Would you like me to pull the very latest status for a specific flight or destination from Edinburgh Airport's live feed or airline notices? I can also summarize recent coverage from major outlets if you want a quick read.[6][7]
