The airport in Hamburg is blocked due to an intervention by the German Federal Police, which has evacuated the security area.

The airport in Hamburg, the fifth largest in Germany, is blocked on Friday, June 12, 2026, due to an intervention by the German Federal Police, which evacuated the security area, forcing all passengers to leave the area behind the security checks, including those already boarding. All departing flights have been suspended, and the information boards in the terminal indicate delays of up to three hours.

The cause of the intervention has not been officially confirmed, but unofficial sources suggest that a suspicious object may have triggered the situation. Authorities are using the term 'police situation', indicating an ongoing investigation.

The airport, which operates at maximum capacity during the summer season, is facing chaos, with passengers forming queues at counters and being stuck without clear information. The incident is not isolated, as the airport has a history of major security events, including a shooting in 2023.
