  • Airport personnel promptly cordoned off the affected area and redirected passengers following the collapse.
  • This incident is the latest in a series of issues at the airport, which has faced complaints about ongoing renovation work, including dust in January and major flooding in May.
  • The airport is currently undergoing extensive renovation work, which began in 2022 and is projected to be completed in 2026 with a budget of €550 million.
