The Franco-Swiss airport of Basel-Mulhouse is reopening and flight operations will gradually resume after it was briefly evacuated due to a bomb alert, airport officials say.

“For safety reasons, the terminal had to be evacuated,” the airport said on its website while it was closed.

An air traffic controller at the airport told Reuters it was the seventh alert since last October.
