London: A part of the Glasgow Airport in Scotland had to be evacuated after a suspicious package was found there, a spokesman said on Wednesday.
The package was found in the security area where passengers are searched before they board a plane, said the spokesman, who spoke on anonymity in line with company policy.
He said the area was evacuated and bomb disposal squads were called to the scene.
The airport remained open late Wednesday. Glasgow police confirmed there is an "ongoing situation" at the airport but declined to provide further details.
Glasgow Airport was the target of a failed terror attack in June 2007, when two men attempted to crash a blazing Jeep loaded with explosives into a departure terminal. The car's path was blocked and the explosives failed to detonate.
