Here’s the latest on Edinburgh Airport (EDI) based on recent reporting:
- In December 2025, Edinburgh Airport experienced a IT-related outage affecting its air traffic control provider, which led to all flights being grounded for a period. Flights subsequently resumed, but there were knock-on delays, diversions, and cancellations.[1][3][7][9]
- The airport and carrier statements urged passengers to check with airlines for the latest on individual flights and noted that service had resumed after the IT issue.[3][5][1]
- Coverage indicates some Paris, Belfast, Amsterdam, Luton, and Belfast City-originating/ending services were cancelled or diverted during the disruption, with ongoing delays impacting schedules even after resumption.[7][3]
If you’d like, I can pull the very latest updates from a specific source (e.g., BBC, Sky News, or STV) and summarize current flight statuses for your travel window. I can also set up a quick alert for any new Edinburgh Airport travel advisories.
