A New York to Scotland flight got all the way across the Atlantic before diverting to Ireland
"Delta Flight 208 took off from New York on Thursday evening and was supposed to land at Edinburgh Airport around 9 a.m. local time. However, after a six-hour flight across the Atlantic Ocean, the Boeing 767 then spent about 20 minutes circling just south of the Scottish capital. It then changed course for Ireland, landing in Dublin just after 10 a.m."
""Due to an IT issue with our air traffic control provider, no flights are currently operating from Edinburgh Airport," the airport said in a statement on X. Data from Flightradar24 shows 11 flights bound for Edinburgh have been diverted, mostly to nearby Glasgow. At around 10:45 a.m. local time, less than an hour after the Delta flight landed in Dublin, flights resumed from Edinburgh Airport."
Delta Flight 208 departed New York and was scheduled to land at Edinburgh Airport around 9 a.m. local time after a six-hour transatlantic flight. The Boeing 767 circled south of Edinburgh for about 20 minutes before diverting to Dublin, where it landed just after 10 a.m. Edinburgh Airport halted all flights due to an IT issue with its air traffic control provider, leading to at least 11 flights bound for Edinburgh being diverted, mostly to Glasgow. Flights resumed from Edinburgh at around 10:45 a.m. local time, and Delta could not be reached for comment outside US working hours.
