Police investigate second threat against Salzburg Airport in a week

Police launched a large operation at Salzburg Airport on Thursday afternoon after receiving a threat, ORF reported. Officers were checking it as a routine measure, police said in response to an ORF inquiry.

Airport spokesperson Alexander Klaus said access to the airport grounds was being tightly controlled. The buildings did not have to be evacuated, and flights continued to operate. Police declined to confirm what kind of threat had been made.

The latest threat came a week after a caller made a threat against the airport. Police searched the grounds for several hours but found no suspicious objects.
