BREAKING: Thousands of passengers have reportedly been evacuated from Adelaide airport following a security breach inside the terminal.
It is unclear what has caused the evacuation, however there have been preliminary reports that a screening machine is at fault meaning all staff and passengers need to be rescreened.
A spokesperson from Adelaide airport said there had been an issue with security screening, meaning some passengers were able to pass through the terminal without proper checks. “Adelaide Airport has evacuated customers from its Terminal 1 concourse due to an issue with security screening,” the statement sent to news.com.au.au read.“It is understood there was a fault with security screening equipment shortly before 2pm, allowing a small number of customers to enter the concourse without proper security screening.
“All customers were moved out of the sterile area, a sweep conducted, and customers are currently being re-screened and allowed to re-enter the concourse. “It is anticipated there will be some flight delays and passengers should check with their airlines for their flight status.”
