Another traveller tweeted about the emergency services at the airport writing “3 fire engines & 2 incident support vehicles around our plane on the runway with blue lights on.”

An Edinburgh Airport spokesperson confirmed to the Scottish Sun that an ambulance was called out to a flight arriving at the airport from Basel at around 7.10am due to reports of a passenger suffering from an allergic reaction.

A spokesman for Edinburgh Airport said:“There was no chaos at the airport this morning – teams and staff reacted to the minor incidents in the appropriate manner.

“The safety of our passengers and staff is always our top priority, however common the incident.

“An airport of our size will always see us having to deal with a wide range of issues which the airport team does brilliantly on a daily basis.”
