Airport power cut blamed on transformer fault
The lights went out at Edinburgh Airport on Wednesday morning causing long delays.
Bosses at Edinburgh Airport say a back-up power system didn't kick in yesterday due a 'catastrophic failure' with a transformer.
The outage hit the terminal shortly before 9am on Wednesday, leading to long queues at check-in desks and extensive delays to flights.
Management also insist their systems remain robust as the busy summer holiday season gets underway and Edinburgh's festival season approaches
