A major police operation is underway at Hamburg Airport, where the passenger security checkpoint area has been evacuated, and boarding procedures and aircraft takeoffs have been suspended. The alarm was triggered when an individual activated the emergency mechanism.
According to BILD, a man activated the emergency mechanism on a door, thereby gaining unauthorized access to a restricted area. The perpetrator has been arrested and is being held at the Federal Police Airport Division; however, authorities are conducting a thorough search of the entire security checkpoint area. Boarding procedures have been suspended; passengers who were already on board the aircraft and awaiting departure were required to disembark, and no flights are currently taking off. The security checkpoint has been evacuated, and it is still unclear how long the inspection will last.
