The terminal of Eindhoven Airport was closed on Thursday afternoon because a ‘firearms-like object’ was found during a security check. This is reported by the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee, which is currently investigating the find. Travelers cannot enter in the meantime.
On Twitter, people report that there are long lines and that information about what is going on is not forthcoming. For the time being, Eindhoven Airport only reports that it is a security problem and that both the security check and the (only) terminal are closed.
Waiting for privacy settings…
It is unclear when the investigation by the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee will be completed. Initiating such an investigation is a procedure if a possible firearm is found in luggage.
Uncertainty
It is therefore also unclear when the terminal will open again. That depends on the research. Many people are complaining on Twitter and in the hall about the lack of information and clarity about the situation.
There is now a sea of stranded travelers in the terminal. Many travelers share images on social media.
