It’s understood passengers arrived on a regional flight and entered the terminal without being adequately screened, triggering the evacuation.

“An orderly evacuation of the terminal has been undertaken and re-screening of passengers has commenced,” a statement from Adelaide Airport read.

“There are likely to be some flight delays as a result, and passengers are asked to check with their carrier for the latest flight information.

“We apologise to our customers impacted this morning and appreciate their patience and understanding.”
