Melbourne Airport Is Facing Massive Delays After A Security Breach That Evacuated 1000 People

Flights have been delayed out of Melbourne Airport this morning after a security breach forced Qantas flights to be evacuated before takeoff and more than 1000 people to be security screened again. “A passenger appears to have inadvertently passed from an ‘unscreened’ area to a ‘screened’ area of the airport in Melbourne,” Qantas said in a statement. “As a precaution all Qantas operations have been put on hold and passengers in the terminal are being rescreened, which is causing delays to some services this morning. “Safety is our number one priority, but we know this disruption is causing some inconvenience for our passengers and we apologise for that. We are investigating how this incident occurred.”
