Passenger services have resumed at Edinburgh Airport after a major air traffic control outage halted all operations.
Every arrival and departure were halted because of an technical fault that was reported at approximately 08:30.
A number of travelers reported being stuck in jets at the stand while the issue persisted.
Officials announced at 10:40 that services were back online, and expressed gratitude to passengers for their "cooperation and patience".
Nonetheless, significant disruption are expected to persist for some time. Services bound for key destinations like Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, and Bristol have been called off, with many others experiencing delays.

"Travelers are urged to contact their airlines for the current status on their individual travel plans," officials reiterated.
