Edinburgh Airport was closed to incoming flights for almost three hours due to a hole found in its main runway.
Planes were diverted to Glasgow and Prestwick airports following the discovery at 1500 BST.
A secondary runway was being used for departing flights but delays are expected for the rest of the day.
They've been resurfacing the runway at nights. I went past last night (there's a train line runs along the end of the main runway) and the construction vehicles were all lined up on a road parallel to the runway, yellow lights flashing, just waiting for the last flight of the day to arrive so they could get to work. Clearly this jinxed them.
