It has been all go at the airport this morning, except that passengers have not been going anywhere very fast.
Following a security alert the building was evacuated and emergency services were called.
The alert was finally declared a false alarm and passengers have now been allowed back into the building.
Police Scotland said that the object found was inspected and is of no danger to the public.
A spokesman said: “Operations at the airport have now returned to normal and those within the building are thanked for their patience and co-operation.”
A spokesman for Edinburgh Airport said: “We can confirm that the airport is now fully operational following this morning’s security alert.
“The object suspected has been confirmed as not being a danger to the public.
“The safety of our passengers and our staff is at the heart of what we do and we thank passengers for their patience as we resolve this situation.
“Our team is now working hard to ensure any disruption to journeys is minimised.”
