An evacuation order has been lifted at Quebec City’s airport following a police investigation Saturday evening.
Police officers were on scene at the transit hub Saturday night to carry out a “police operation,” police said in a tweet. Travellers were asked to leave the terminal, and an access road was closed off.
Neither police nor officials with the Jean-Lesage International Airport of Quebec have confirmed the cause of the evacuation.
The evacuation was announced at 7:40 p.m. and the all-clear was given shortly after 9 p.m.
"Passengers and employees re-entered the terminal. Operations are back to normal," the airport said in a tweet.
Evacuation of the terminal (city side) in collaboration with the @SPVQ_police. More details to come.
