Edinburgh Airport later revealed that flights are back on track after a short IT glitch in air traffic control shut everything down on the morning of December 5, 2025. The problem stopped all flights for a while, but teams moved fast and kept bigger delays from piling up.
As per reports, passengers got stuck and airlines such as easyJet and British Airways took a hit. Still, the quick response meant the chaos didn’t last long, just a few hours of hassle instead of a full-blown disaster.
