Flight operations have restarted at Scotland's primary international airport after a substantial ATC system failure brought the international hub to a standstill.
All aircraft movements were suspended after an systems problem that occurred at about 08:30.
Some passengers found themselves stranded in jets at the stand during the disruption.
Officials announced at 10:40 that operations had restarted, and thanked passengers for their "patience and understanding".
However, considerable delays are anticipated to persist for some time. Services bound for London Gatwick, Bristol, Amsterdam and Frankfurt have been called off, with numerous other services subject to postponements.
Officials had initially projected that dozens of flights could be impacted.
"Flyers are asked to contact their airlines for the most up-to-date details on their individual travel plans," officials reiterated.
The airport attributed the full ground stop to an systems failure with its air traffic control provider.
Flyers continue to be advised to check the status of their journey before traveling to the terminal as backlogs are cleared.
