2:49 PM EDT, July 26, 2024
The international airport EuroAirport in Saint-Louis, France, has been evacuated. All flights have been halted, and passengers and employees have been escorted out of one of the terminals due to "security concerns."
The terminal had to be evacuated for security reasons and is currently closed. Flight operations have been temporarily halted. The airport advised passengers to contact their airlines for information regarding their flights.
The reason for the evacuation is currently unknown. Police are working in the area.
The media remind us that this is the fifth time this year that EuroAirport has been evacuated. In January and March, there were reports of a bomb in the terminal, but the threats turned out to be false.
On Friday, the Olympic Games begin in France. On that day, there was already an attack on the TGV in Paris, causing some train delays.
