Suspicious package halts operations at Montreal-Trudeau airport, all returns to normal
In response, flights were redirected to other airports.
On Monday evening, several international flights heading to Montreal-Trudeau International Airport were diverted after a "package of interest" was discovered in the international arrivals area.
The security mechanisms at the airport detected the package, leading to an evacuation of that part of the terminal as a precaution.
In response, flights were redirected to other airports.
However, after an analysis by Montreal police (SPVM), it was determined that the threat was unfounded.
By midnight, the airport confirmed that normal operations had resumed. The authorities did not provide details on the number of flights affected or the nature of the package.
