Glasgow International Airport has been locked down amid reports of a 'suspicious package'.
The discovery is believed to have been made at around 6am on Monday December 5, prompting an emergency response. Police Scotland and Scottish Fire and Rescue Service are currently on scene at the central search area.
The area, along with the domestic travels area, is closed but the check-in desks were said to be open. A Royal Navy Bomb Disposal vehicle has been spotted outside the building.
Photos taken on site, which were shared on social media, shows uniformed officers and firefighters huddled together while the 'disturbance' takes place. 'Massive' queues can be seen to have formed in the check-out area.
Passengers had been reportedly 'stuck at the airbridge' while waiting on updates from staff.
Ronnie Cowan, SNP MP for Inverclyde, wrote on Twitter: "Glasgow airport still appears to be closed. Fire brigades outside. No information being provided for passengers queuing outside."
Juliette Denham, 20, is one affected traveller. She says she has lost 'hundreds of pounds' after missing her connecting flight to Brussels due to this morning's disruption.
She told the Record: "We not received any update other than the same security message that’s been going off for nearly two hours.
"It's packed in the check in area and I had a connecting flight in Brussels which I will miss and be hundreds out of pocket. No update from staff. Some people have given up and gone home."
Georgina Mills, 41, who was originally travelling to Belfast, has also missed her flight. She said: "It's freezing and we’re all just waiting - I’ve just seen my flight has left on flight radar so I’m heading home
"We were on the car park side of the air bridge. Doors were closed as I approached this morning just after 6am - we were in the air ridge until 6:30 then we were asked to move back to the car park entrance.
"We were told there’s an ongoing police incident. We could see police officers, fire fighters and not much else. Staff looked like they were possibly making plans to reopen security."
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Police and emergency services are currently in attendance at an ongoing incident at Glasgow Airport.
"The terminal building has been closed as a precaution, however, not evacuated. No further details available at this time."
A spokesperson for Glasgow Airport added: "The Airport's central search area is closed due to an ongoing police incident. Check-in remains open to passengers due to depart. More updates to follow."
Scottish Fire and Rescue Service has been contacted for comment.
