Edinburgh Airport is evacuated after police receive a report of a potentially suspicious item. Police Scotland says the alert is raised around 6:50pm on Friday, 19 June, 2026, and an explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) unit attends the airport. A cordon is put in place and roads around the airport are closed while specialist teams investigate. Several outlets report that airport operations are disrupted, with flights affected and some services diverting to other locations, including nearby airports such as Glasgow. Some passengers are left delayed after landing but cannot disembark due to the ongoing incident. Public transport links to and from the airport are also disrupted, including Edinburgh trams operating only between Gyle Centre and St Andrew Square, and Scottish Citylink bus services terminating and rerouting to nearby stops until further notice. Edinburgh Airport states it evacuates as a precaution while specialist teams investigate and directs passengers to check with their airline for updates. Police Scotland says enquiries are ongoing and advises the public to check ahead.
