Security Breach Causes Delays and Disruption at Melbourne Airport

A security breach caused early morning disruption and delays at Australia’s Melbourne Airport, after passengers were required to be re-screened at security checkpoints.

This footage, filmed by Nathan Berry, shows a Qantas domestic terminal crowded with passengers.

According to local media reports a passenger “inadvertently” breached security at the airport.

“As a precaution all Qantas operations have been put on hold and passengers in the terminal are being rescreened, which is causing delays to some services this morning”, according to ABC, citing a Qantas spokesperson.

Screening of passengers resumed at around 7:40 am local time, Melbourne Airport said, adding that delays were expected to continue throughout the morning. Credit: Nathan Berry via Storyful
