By the end of the late shift @ EDI last night, seems like most airlines were preparing for the worst for today (Wednesday), as most had their engine covers fitted etc. Ryanair, along with one or two other airlines like BA, seemed to take the view that EDI would be shut first thing today and cancelled their early morning flights and put a notice to that effect on their website yesterday evening. This morning however, EDI remained open and the airlines that had decided to play a "wait and see" strategy seem to be operating normally. RYR interestingly enough said that Edinburgh would be open for Ryanair flights from 1500 hours today.

Not sure what they told the passengers at the airport who saw most other airlines operating normally ........
