Chemicals leak causes temporary operation suspension at Bremen airport

Flight takeoffs and landings at Germany's Bremen airport on Monday were stopped for more than an hour due to explosion danger caused by an explosive chemicals leak near the runaway, local media reported.

Around 7 p.m., the airport gave an all-clear signal to the waiting travelers that the flight operation that was temporarily ceased can proceed again.

After an explosive chemicals leak was reported at an Airbus production hall near the airport's runway, an emergency alarm was issued shortly before 5 p.m. local time and no planes were allowed on the airstrip since 5:20 p.m.

The airport building itself was not affected and did not have to be evacuated.
