Birmingham airport was given the all clear by police to resume operations after the terminal was evacuated after reports of suspicious vehicle.
West Midlands Police confirmed that officers responded on Wednesday afternoon so the vehicle could be searched and assessed.
“Following a search by the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team the vehicle was deemed to be safe,” a statement said. “The vehicle is no longer being treated as suspicious.
“The safety of all was our primary concern and there is no wider risk to the public. The airport has resumed normal business with minimal disruption.”
Some passengers were evacuated and departing flights were suspended for a couple of hours as police dealt with the incident, according to the airport.
A spokesperson said: “Birmingham airport is working closely with its airline partners to minimise any potential disruption to customers.
“The majority of flights that were held on the ground have now departed, with only one cancelled flight.
“Customers are still advised to check their flight status with their airline.
“We again apologise for the inconvenience to our passengers but their safety and security is our priority.”
