BERLIN: Around 200 flights had to be cancelled and two terminals evacuated at Munich airport on Saturday after an unidentified person entered a secure area, police and the airport said.

The person — a woman — made it into a secure area of Terminal 2 without being checked and then disappeared without a trace despite an extensive search, police said, adding that they did not believe she represented an “extreme danger”.

Several thousand people at the airport on a busy weekend of holiday departures had to be evacuated.

Sixty flights were also delayed.
