“Following a police investigation, some passengers were evacuated and we had to suspend departing flights for a couple of hours. That investigation has now concluded, and operations will slowly be returning to normal,” an airport spokesperson said in a statement.
“All passengers are advised to check latest flight information from their airline.”
