Edinburgh Airport cancelled all flights out of the airport on Friday citing an IT issue with the air traffic control provider.

The Airport in a post on X said that teams were working on the issue and will be resolved as soon as possible.

"We will provide updates when possible - please contact your airline for the latest information on your flight" the post said.

Flight tracking software, flight radar appeared to show planes sitting on the airport tarmac, seemingly not moving.

It also showed little to no activity over the airport as incoming flights were either cancelled or diverted to nearby airports.

Edinburgh airport is Scotland's busiest airport with around 15 million passengers passing through it in 2024 alone. 

This is a developing story.
