Summary
Federal police shut parts of Hamburg airport on Friday after a man pressed an emergency button, opened escape routes and entered a restricted security area around 9:45 a.m. local time.
The breach triggered evacuations of the security zone and aircraft as police said the man's intentions were unclear and imposed the lockdown as a precaution.
Airport authorities later ended the measure and resumed passenger screening and flight operations, but warned major delays and cancellations would continue through the day.
