The airport opened again at 11am.

It had been closed as emergency services dealt with a suspicious package.

The police have said that the airport was closed after a suspicious item was identified in the baggage checking area.

Whilst this item was assessed the airport had to be shut down due to airport safety protocols.

Emergency services then attended to assist with the evacuation.

Checks indicated that the issue was caused by a security alert on a baggage scanning machine being activated.

The police have thanked the public for their patience and understanding.

As we reported earlier this morning, roads near Ronaldsway closed while emergency services dealt with the situation.
