- LONDON: Manchester Airport’s main terminal has reopened after bomb disposal experts were called in to check a suspicious package on Wednesday, police said.
A man was being questioned, although police said earlier reports that he was being held under the Terrorism Act were inaccurate.
The package, a bag, was found to be safe.
The airport’s operators had earlier said 11 flights leaving Terminal 1 would be affected. Incoming flights are operating normally and the airport’s two other terminals remained open.
Manchester Airport is Britain’s fourth biggest and handles around 20 million passengers each year.
