Terminal 1 at Berlin’s BER airport has been reopened to the public. According to an airport spokesman speaking to the dts news agency this evening, the police operation concluded around 8:45 PM. Despite the resolution of the incident, travelers should anticipate remaining delays and intermittent flight cancellations until operations cease for the day.
Passengers are advised to check the latest flight statuses directly with their airlines or by consulting the on-site flight information screens. The spokesman confirmed that while flight operations were limited, they were never entirely halted, with starts and landings proceeding under restricted conditions. Furthermore, the airport is anticipating a return to regular service for Friday.
The incident began late in the afternoon after a woman reported to airport staff that she was carrying a specific substance classified as dangerous. Consequently, a “Hazardous Material Alarm” was triggered around 5:45 PM, leading to the evacuation of Terminal 1’s public areas. During the crisis, check-in procedures were largely handled through Terminal 2.
