Hamburg Airport was evacuated due to a security breach: departures have been temporarily suspended
Passengers were evacuated from the airport in Hamburg, Germany, due to a security incident. All departures have been temporarily suspended.
According to the federal police, passengers were led out of the area after passing through security. The evacuation also included people who were already on board the planes.
Preliminary reports indicate that the incident was triggered when a man who had gained unauthorized access to the airport’s secure zone activated an emergency call button. His identity has already been established.
Once the evacuation is complete, law enforcement plans to conduct a thorough search of the man and investigate the circumstances of the incident. According to local media, the operation could take about two hours.
Currently, all flights from Hamburg Airport are delayed by approximately three hours. The restrictions apply only to the security zone for passengers who have already passed through security, while other parts of the airport continue to operate.
