Dublin Airport’s Terminal 2 Reopens After Security Evacuation Over Suspicious Bag

A separate software failure at a check‑in provider is still causing delays across Europe.

Overview

  • Terminal 2 was cleared as a precaution after a piece of airline luggage raised concerns, with Gardaí directing passengers to assembly points.
  • Defence Forces EOD contained and removed the item for checks and later declared it safe, after which the terminal received the all‑clear and flights began to resume.
  • Gardaí said enquiries continue; some outlets reported an arrest linked to suspected detonators, but authorities have not confirmed those details.
  • Collins Aerospace, part of RTX, reported a cyber‑related disruption affecting check‑in and boarding systems at multiple European airports, forcing manual processing and causing delays and some cancellations.
  • Dublin and Cork reported only minor effects from the software issue, and officials warned of residual delays and urged passengers to check with airlines for updates.
