Terminal 2 at the Dublin Airport was evacuated on Saturday (Sep 20) over “security” concerns, the airport said in a statement. It added that the flights may be temporarily impacted, without disclosing the reason behind the evacuation. However, a few hours later, the airport said that passengers would shortly be allowed to re-enter the area and flights were expected to resume.
This comes after European airports reported disruptions in flight operations following a cyberattack. It is unclear whether the two events are related or not.
“Dublin Airport confirms Terminal 2 has received the all-clear. Passengers will shortly re-enter & flights are expected to resume within 30 mins. Some temporary disruption may continue during the remainder of the day - check with your airline for updates,” Dublin Airport said in its latest statement.
Earlier, the airport said, “Terminal 2 at Dublin Airport has been evacuated this morning as a safety precaution. Passenger and staff safety is our top priority. Anyone at the airport should follow staff to assembly points. Flight operations may be temporarily impacted.”
It further added, “Please check with your airline for updates. Further info to follow. Thank you for your patience.”
According to a BBC report, Gardaí, the Irish police, said that they are currently at the scene of an incident at the airport.
In an update on the situation, the Dublin Airport said, “@GardaTraffic has advised that traffic restrictions are in place on routes approaching Dublin Airport due to the current evacuation of Terminal 2.” It added, “Separately, a Europe-wide software issue is causing some airlines to use manual check-in/boarding, with minor impact at Dublin & Cork. Contact your airline for the latest info.”
Earlier on Saturday, several airports in Europe, including London Heathrow, Berlin Airport, and Brussels Airport, were hit by flight delays and cancellations due to a cyber attack on Collins Aerospace, which provides check-in and boarding systems for several airlines across multiple airports globally.
The cyber attack led to disruptions in flight operations as the airport staff had to perform check-in and boarding tasks manually. Passengers were advised to check their flight status before coming to the airport.
