Flights Resume at Edinburgh Airport After Air Traffic Control IT Fault

Officials said the ANS-run control systems failed in a localised outage unrelated to the separate Cloudflare incident.

Overview

  • The airport halted all operations Friday morning before departures began taking off again around 10:40–10:45 a.m. local time.
  • FlightRadar24 showed roughly 11 inbound diversions, including a Delta flight from New York that landed in Dublin after circling near the city.
  • Additional arrivals were rerouted to Glasgow and Manchester as some passengers and crews faced prolonged waits on the tarmac.
  • Nats said it is supporting affected airlines while carriers reposition aircraft and crews to normalise operations.
  • Passengers were urged to check directly with airlines for updates, with travel firms warning of residual delays as schedules recover.
