Updated - The airport arrivals lounge was briefly evacuated this afternoon after a man raised suspicion when he left a suitcase in the hall and ran out, eyewitnesses said.

The incident happened at about 4 p.m. The suitcase was in the street side of the building, close to the car park ticketing machines.

The building was sealed off and army bomb disposal experts were on the scene to check the suitcase.

The suitcase was 'blown up' using a high pressure water jet. It was found to be empty.
