Passengers are experiencing delays at Gold Coast Airport after an incident which blocked off a section of the arrivals terminal.

A Gold Coast Airport spokesperson said they have to activate security protocols after an isolated incident at the facility on Wednesday morning.

It was understood the incident meant all passengers taking a flight to Sydney had to go through screening again.

“Operational delays were experienced as a result,” the spokesperson said.

“Gold Coast Airport is working with its airline partners to manage the impact to customers.

“Operations have resumed, however there will be some flight delays as a result.
