Comodoro Rivadavia Airport Evacuated After Passenger Claims Bomb

Prosecutors opened an inquiry into the traveler’s belongings to assess possible charges.

Overview

  • The claim was made shortly before 3 p.m. local time, triggering immediate activation of airport security protocols.
  • Authorities isolated roughly a 100‑metre radius in the preboarding area, evacuated the terminal to an outdoor assembly point, and summoned the GEDEX bomb squad.
  • Airport operations paused with no passenger or baggage movement, and an arriving flight from Córdoba held in “posición Zulu” with passengers kept onboard.
  • Bomb technicians found no dangerous items after an exhaustive check, and the terminal reopened about 40 minutes later.
  • The fiscal prosecutor’s office opened a case to determine potential criminal responsibility and to requisition the woman’s belongings, with PSA sources noting she was traveling with her daughter.
