On Friday morning, flight operations at Cologne/Bonn airport were suspended due to a security incident. The airport operator confirmed that normal operations have resumed, though passengers may experience longer wait times. Despite the initial halting of flights, the police stated that there was no threat to public safety during the incident.

The security measures lasted for approximately two and a half hours, affecting about a dozen flights. While no flights could depart during this time, the airport has since returned to standard operations. However, passengers are advised to expect delays as the airport works to clear the backlog created during the incident.

Authorities assured the public that all necessary precautions had been taken and that the situation is now under control. As air travel continues to rebound in the post-pandemic era, incidents of this nature remind travelers to remain patient and vigilant as security protocols are strictly followed for passenger safety.
