A man has been charged after a drone entered restricted air space over Edinburgh Airport.

Several flights were held back after the aircraft was spotted in the exclusion zone at about 11:10 on Thursday.

A spokesperson for the airport said it was "imperative" drone operators were aware of "flight restriction zones".
