Air travel have resumed at Edinburgh Airport after a major technical issue at the control tower halted all operations.
Every arrival and departure were halted after an technical fault that arose around 08:30.
Several flyers reported being stuck in jets at the stand during the disruption.
Operations Restart with Ongoing Delays
A statement indicated at 10:40 that operations had restarted, and expressed gratitude to passengers for their "patience and understanding".
Nonetheless, significant disruption are likely to continue throughout the day. Services bound for key destinations like Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, and Bristol have been called off, with many others experiencing delays.
A spokesperson had previously estimated that dozens of flights could be affected.
"Passengers are advised to check directly with their airline for the latest information on their individual travel plans," was the consistent advice.
Source of the Issue
The airport attributed the operational halt to an technical fault with its air traffic control provider.
Travelers should still plan to check the status of their trip before departing to the airport as backlogs are managed.
