Glasgow Airport baggage alert
Last updated 28th Nov 2019
Glasgow Airport is fully operational again after emergency services were called to a security scare which locked down the terminal on Wednesday evening.
Police were called to reports of a spillage in the baggage hold of an Emirates plane which had arrived from Dubai at about 8.25pm.
Five fire engines and a number of specialist resources were also sent to the scene.
Police said the spillage was deemed safe and there are no suspicious circumstances.
The check-in hall was cordoned off while tests were carried out, but later re-opened, and the plane departed for Dubai a couple of hours late.
A Glasgow Airport spokesman said: "Scottish Fire and Rescue representatives were called to the airport in response to concerns raised over a substance found on a piece of inbound luggage.
"Tests were conducted to determine the content of the substance and the main check-in hall was cordoned off as is standard procedure.
"The incident has now been stood down and the airport is fully operational."
