Edinburgh Airport bosses have written to the Scottish Government to raise urgent concerns.

Senior sources at the airport yesterday claimed the situation was “shambolic”. A spokesman said: “We have spent the past few days trying to make the Scottish Government’s suggestions fit for purpose in an airport environment as no policy was presented to us and the initial discussions were lacking in basic detail and knowledge of our operations.

“This is exactly why we wanted to be engaged far earlier in the process rather than being in a race against time.” All international arrivals to Scotland are expected to book a £1750 10-day self-isolation stay via the UK Government’s online portal prior to departure.
