Edinburgh Airport resumes flights following air traffic control failure
No flights were departing or arriving the airport after a technical fault on Friday morning.
news.stv.tvHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting.
- A December 2025 incident caused Edinburgh Airport to suspend all flights temporarily due to an IT fault affecting the airport’s air traffic control provider. Flights were halted for several hours before operations resumed, with officials urging passengers to check with airlines for the most current information.[1][4][5]
- Once the IT issue was resolved, Edinburgh Airport announced that flights had resumed and thanked passengers for their patience; there were ongoing knock-on delays and some cancellations as the system normalized.[4][8][1]
If you want, I can look up the very latest status from official sources (airport website, air traffic control provider, or major UK outlets) and summarize any new disruptions, schedules, or guidance for travelers today.
