Frankfurt airport departure hall evacuated after passenger breaches security
Frankfurt airport΄s Terminal 1 departure hall was evacuated on Wednesday (31/08/2016) after a passenger got into the departure gate area without completing the security check, possibly by mistake, the airport΄s operator and police said.
All passengers had been cleared from the departure hall and would have to go through security checks again, a spokeswoman for Fraport said.
A police spokesman said it was unclear whether the person, who has not been found, had intentionally breached the security check and whether the person was carrying any forbidden items.
"The main aim of the evacuation is to ensure that the terminal is secure," the spokesman said.
The Fraport spokeswoman said the breach at Europe's fourth largest airport would lead to flight delays at the hub, airline Lufthansa's main base.
In a similar incident, a Spanish man was arrested at Cologne-Bonn airport in May after breaching security, leading to flight delays.
