IT failure results in delays at Edinburgh Airport – check with airlines
Passengers are delayed at Edinburgh Airport this afternoon as a result of an IT failure.
The airport advised on X at 3.54pm that “due to an IT issue with Air Traffic Control no flights are currently taking off or landing. Engineers are working to resolve the issue. Passengers should check their flight status with their airline before travelling to the airport”.
An update was then posted at 4.30pm to say that “Engineers are continuing to work on the IT issue currently affecting Air Traffic Control. Passengers should continue to check their flight status with their airline before travelling to the airport.”
According to an eye witness at the airport every available car parking space is taken, passengers are everywhere in the terminal trying to find a place to wait for more information. But some are also hailing Ubers to Glasgow Airport which remains open. In particular some Easyjet customers said they had no information from the airline and were prepared to pay £80 for a taxi to Glasgow rather than wait until tomorrow morning for a flight.
