All flights halted at Edinburgh Airport as IT issue hits air traffic control
Edinburgh Airport, Scotland's busiest, suspended flights due to an air traffic control IT failure affecting arrivals and departures for several hours.
- On Friday, Edinburgh Airport suspended all flights after an air traffic control IT failure, leaving passengers stranded on tarmacs while teams work to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
- Grangemouth-Based drivers working for Turners Limited plan four days of action later this month on December 11 and 12 and December 22 and 23, with Unite warning of likely flight disruption and planned picketing in Grangemouth.
- Unite says Turners recently recorded after-tax profits of 51.42m in 2024, but the firm said the tanker-driver side lost money this year, justifying the one per cent pay offer.
- Eurocontrol reported suspended arrivals at Edinburgh for at least the next few hours between 0900 and 1400 UTC, while the Civil Aviation Authority advised passengers to check with airlines and Nats offered support.
- This month the dispute threatens festive travel as strike dates approach, with Unite backing tanker drivers amid ongoing action since January this year and warning of further moves if Turners does not improve pay.
