- Edinburgh airport will temporarily close its airspace when the Queen's coffin is flown to London.
- Some flights due to leave on Tuesday afternoon will be grounded, delayed, or canceled.
Scotland's busiest airport plans to temporarily close its airspace on Tuesday to ensure Queen Elizabeth II's coffin is transported to London safely.
Although the airport will remain open to passengers during this time, the airspace closure will mean some flights are grounded, delayed, or canceled on Tuesday afternoon, the airport confirmed to local media outlet Edinburgh Live.
Representatives for Edinburgh airport did not immediately respond to Insider's request for confirmation.
Scottish regional airport, Loganair, warned travelers that some flights had been rescheduled.
The company said via a Facebook post: "If you're traveling with us to or from Edinburgh on Tuesday 13 September, some Loganair flights have been re-timed or combined due to closure of the airport during the late afternoon to enable HM The Queen's final journey from Scotland to take place."
The airline also warned passengers traveling to the airport that there will be "several road closures and likely more traffic and congestion than normal."
The late Queen's coffin is currently traveling across the UK before her funeral in London on Monday 19 September.
On Sunday, the Queen's coffin traveled by road to Edinburgh's Palace of Holyrood from Balmoral Castle where she died on Thursday. It was laid to rest overnight in the Palace and will be moved on Monday to lie in St Giles' Cathedral until Tuesday afternoon when it is flown to London, the Mirror reported.
The coffin is due to land at a Royal Air Force base in London at 6:00 p.m. It will then travel by hearse to Westminster Hall, where it will lie in state until the funeral, with the public able to visit the coffin and pay their respects.
