Dublin Airport terminal evacuated over ‘safety’ concern
Dublin Airport’s terminal two has been evacuated as a “safety precaution”, the airport said in a statement. “Passenger and staff safety is our top priority,” it wrote in a post on X. “Anyone at the airport should follow staff to assembly points.
“Flight operations may be temporarily impacted. Please check with your airline for updates. Further info to follow. Thank you for your patience.” The evacuation is not believed to be linked to the cyber attack affecting major European airports today.
But The Independent’s Simon Calder says the issue is “further bad news” on a difficult day. “On a day that was already looking difficult for European aviation, this is further bad news.
“Terminal 2 at Dublin is the hub for Aer Lingus – both for UK flights and onward transatlantic connections.”
