Overview
- Police closed the security areas of Terminals 1 and 2 at 06:37 on Feb. 13, stopping departures for about two and a half hours while checks were carried out.
- Officials said there was no acute danger to life and described the shutdown as a precautionary measure.
- Arrivals continued during the disruption, while roughly a dozen outbound flights were delayed rather than canceled.
- Local reporting indicates a bag flagged as suspicious was handed back to a passenger, triggering a search and requiring affected travelers to be screened again.
- After reopening, several new CT-scanner lanes were taken out of service, reducing screening capacity to about 60% and affecting roughly 800 passengers as technicians work to fix the issue.
