'Freezing' Glasgow Airport passengers packed into car park 'for hours' amid bomb squad scare

Thousands of passengers at Glasgow Airport are anxiously awaiting updates after being left ‘freezing’ in a car park amid a ‘suspicious’ item scare. Emergency services were called to the scene in the security hall shortly before 6am on Monday, December 5, when concerns were raised over a passenger’s bag.

Police Scotland officers and airport staff have ushered dozens of travellers into the multi-storey car park across the road from the travel hub as enquiries remain ongoing. A specialist Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team remains in attendance with a large cordon put in place.

Carol and Billy Martin are set to be flying on the 11.30am easyJet flight to Gran Canaria. They’re travelling with their teenage daughter and her friend, who were hoping to get a four-day break from studying in the sunshine.
