A man has been arrested in connection with a bomb threat that forced the evacuation of Denmark’s second-largest airport.
The development caused flights to and from Billund airport in central Denmark to be suspended and time has yet been set for the resumption of flights.
This was confirmed by the Danish police on Saturday, April 20, 2024, saying, “Following an alert about a bomb at Billund airport, police in southeast Jutland have arrested a man.”
The airport website highlights several cancelled flights that were due to leave in the early afternoon, to Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Barcelona.
Police are investigating whether there is a link between this bomb threat and the bombing of an ATM in Billund at around 04:00 a.m. (0200 GMT) on Saturday.
Pictures from the airport show a man in handcuffs being led away from the scene by police.
It is currently unclear if anyone else was involved.
Billund Airport is near the headquarters of the manufacturer of Lego toy bricks and the Legoland theme park.
