Dublin Airport Reopens Terminal 2 After Security Evacuation

Officials gave the all-clear after checks, with a reported arrest over suspected detonators under investigation.

Overview

  • Dublin Airport said Terminal 2 received the all-clear and passengers were being allowed back in, with flights expected to resume within about 30 minutes.
  • Gardaí attended the scene, directed people to assembly points, and introduced temporary traffic restrictions on routes approaching the airport.
  • The Irish Independent reported that a passenger was arrested after suspected detonators were found during security screening, and that bomb-disposal support was requested on a standby basis.
  • The airport warned of continued disruption and advised travelers to check with their airlines as operations restart.
  • A separate Europe-wide software issue disrupted check-in and boarding at airports including Heathrow, Brussels, and Berlin, with minor knock-on effects at Dublin and Cork where some airlines used manual processes.
