Basel Airport continues to be evacuated following bomb allegations

Basel-Mulhouse airport continues to be evacuated after a bomb suspect.

The exact reason for the evacuation initially remained unclear. The Swiss Prefectate finally confirmed to Blick that “terminal should be evacuated for security reasons following a” bomb threat. According to “20 Minutes”, an explosive dog from Basel Cantonal Police has arrived around 15:30.

Meanwhile, outside the airport has begun to become a chaotic situation since travelers have a place to wait and still do not know whether their trips will be realized.

The fire unit brought water to the passengers. It is also learned that the pilot has said there is no further information and has asked the passengers to be patient.

The passengers are also sitting in the bushes because the parking lot is full and there's no other option”, a reader said.

In a photo taken by the reader, you can see how some people are taking refuge from the rain under a bridge.

And there have been an annulment and deviation of flights scheduled for the airport.

As the data from the airport website shows, several flights have been canceled, including from Munich, Frankfurt, Cyril and Amsterdam. These restrictions apply until shortly before 6:00. Two planes went wrong too. A media spokesperson for the airport was unable to confirm for Blick if she had a connection to the evacuation.

A series of bomb threats continues to keep France blocked after the high-level terrorist alert was set. Like the day before, a number of regional airports were temporarily evacuated Thursday due to bomb threats. Airports in Montpellier, Nantes, Bordeaux and Lille were affected.
