All flights into and out of Scotland’s busiest airport were grounded at 4:15 p.m. local time. Some incoming flights were diverted to Glasgow Airport, located approximately 50 miles away.
Edinburgh Airport officials stated that engineers are working diligently to resolve the IT issue.
“Passengers are advised to check the status of their flights with their respective airlines before traveling to the airport,” the airport said in a statement.
