Adelaide airport evacuated due to security incident

Adelaide Airport has been evacuated due to a security incident with Australian Federal Police on scene.

An AFP spokesperson confirmed officers remain on scene at the airport.

The incident has been resolved but there are long queues as passengers move back through security screening.

Adelaide Airport said in a statement the T1 terminal was evacuated due to an issue with security screening on Wednesday about 2pm local time.

A fault led to some people being allowed into the terminal without going through the proper screening process.

“All customers were moved out of the sterile area, a sweep conducted, and customers are currently being re-screened and allowed to re-enter the concourse,” the airport said in a statement.

“It is anticipated there will be some flight delays and passengers should check with their flights for their airline status.”
