Flight operations have resumed at Edinburgh Airport following a substantial technical issue at the control tower brought the international hub to a standstill.
Every arrival and departure were suspended due to an systems problem that arose around 08:30.
Some passengers were left waiting in planes on the runway while the issue persisted.
Operations Restart with Ongoing Delays
The airport confirmed at 10:40 that operations had restarted, and thanked passengers for their "understanding and cooperation".
That said, considerable delays are expected to persist for some time. Services bound for key destinations like Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, and Bristol have been cancelled, with many others subject to postponements.
Officials had earlier anticipated that dozens of flights could be disrupted.
"Passengers are advised to check directly with their airline for the current status on their individual travel plans," the statement added.
Root of the Disruption
The airport attributed the widespread suspension to an technical fault with its ATC service provider.
Travelers are still being urged to verify the schedule of their trip before departing to the hub as knock-on effects are worked through.
