Edinburgh Airport have confirmed their airspace will close on Tuesday afternoon or a short period of time to allow the coffin to leave safely.

Although the airport itself will remain open for passengers, all flights in this period of time will be grounded, with some to be delayed or cancelled.

Loganair warned their passengers that some of their services had been ‘re-timed or combined’, with those expected to travel on September 13 urged to check their flight details.

If your flight is impacted, they will email you today using the contact details held in your booking. If your flight is operating as normal, please do be aware that there will be several road closures and likely more traffic than normal, so please allow extra time.
