The operation at Cologne/Bonn Airport was interrupted Friday morning for several hours because of a police‑related measure, the airport said, initially without providing further details.
Media reports indicate that shortly after 6:30 a.m. problems at an air‑security control point led to the precautionary evacuation of the security areas in Terminals 1 and 2. Sources say that a new security system in the passenger‑check area malfunctioned, possibly allowing items to enter the secured zone that were not correctly inspected by the new CT scanners. The lockdown was therefore described as a precautionary measure.
