Passengers were evacuated this morning from Frankfurt airport following a security scare, causing delays across Europe.
Police evacuated parts of the airport’s Terminal 1 building after a passenger entered the airside area without fully completing a security check.
A Federal police spokesman said the person is not in custody adding that it is unclear whether the security breach was accidental or planned. They have also admitted that they don't know whether the suspect was carrying 'any forbidden items'.
Airlines including Lufthansa are advising all passengers to check the status of their flight before heading to the airport.
According to Reuters, no arrest has been made and at this stage it is unclear if the breach was planned.
