Services resumed this morning but there have been knock-on delays, diversions and cancellations to flights.
www.bbc.co.ukHere are the latest Edinburgh Airport updates based on recent reports:
- Flights were temporarily suspended due to an IT issue affecting the airport’s air traffic control provider, with operations resuming later the same day. Passengers were advised to check with airlines for individual flight statuses. [BBC live updates][6][7]
- Cancellations and delays occurred after the initial restart, with knock-on impacts to departures and arrivals as the system stabilized. Travelers were urged to monitor airline and airport communications for the latest information. [Independent live coverage][2][7]

If you’d like, I can pull the most up-to-date flight statuses for your intended travel window and provide a concise, airline-specific status table. I can also summarize the key impacts (cancellations, diversions, expected recovery times) for planning purposes.
