Swissport open new Edinburgh luggage facility at Ingliston and apologise for delays

Aviation company Swissport are moving their temporary luggage collection point in Edinburgh following a huge backlog of cases, left unclaimed or late off flights to the capital.

The baggage handling agent, who are responsible for the luggage of airlines such as Jet2, Ryanair and TUI, have issued an apology to Edinburgh passengers. It comes after dozens were forced to wait for hours in this week's earlier heatwave in an attempt to retrieve cases.

Reports suggest that, despite waiting hours, some passengers were still unable to claim their luggage as Swissport shut the facility early. They told people to keep an eye on Edinburgh Airport's website for updates in the coming days.
