From the airport website:

Terminal 2 Evacuation


A Manchester Airport spokesperson said:

“At approximately 4.35pm today, Terminal 2 at Manchester Airport was evacuated following the discovery of a suspicious package. Greater Manchester Police attended the Airport and dealt with the incident. Terminal 2 reopened at 6.50pm.

“During the evacuation, flights that were due to arrive at Terminal 2 were diverted to aircraft stands in Terminal 1 and the passengers processed as normal. Flights that were due to depart from Terminal 2 between 4.35pm and 6.50pm were delayed whilst passengers remained outside Terminal 2.

“Manchester Airport would like to thank passengers and staff for their patience during the incident.”
