Travellers react to Birmingham Airport evacuation

Passengers using Birmingham Airport are being advised to check their latest flight information after its terminal was evacuated over a suspicious vehicle.

Many flights were grounded on Wednesday and people had to leave the airport building while a police operation got under way at about 12:20 BST.

An Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team searched the vehicle which was "deemed to be safe", West Midlands Police said.

An airport spokesperson apologised for the inconvenience and disruption, but said "the safety and security of everyone at the airport was our number one priority".
