Monday, 03 Feb, 2015 0

Edinburgh airport has dismissed claims that long security queues on Sunday night were caused by ’13 out of 14 security staff being sick’.

Passengers took to social media criticising the delays and expressing concern about missing flights.

One said he was told that ’13 out of 14′ security staff were sick.

A spokesman for Edinburgh Airport said he did not know where the figure had come from and confirmed that only three members of the security staff had called in sick.

He said the situation had not occurred before and was due to an unprecedented number of passengers at the same time as well as staffing issues.  

The airport said that no flights had been delayed or missed as a result of the queues.
