Morning incident at the largest airport in Canada
On Saturday morning, Toronto Parson’s international airport temporarily suspended the work of part of one of the terminals due to the detection of a suspicious object. The incident occurred at about 9:30 in the morning in the waiting area of the departure, where the passenger informed the employees about the bag left unattended.
According to the security protocol, the zone was immediately numb, and all passengers and employees were evacuated by all nearby. This caused a short -term delay in several flights, but the main schedule was soon restored.
Fast reaction of services and clear actions of personnel
Employees of the aviation security service, as well as police units and dog handlers, arrived at the place. All actions were carried out strictly in accordance with approved precautions in order to ensure the safety of everyone who was in the terminal.
Experts conducted an audit of the subject using special equipment. After a thorough analysis, it was found that the contents of the bag were not dangerous. According to preliminary data, the bag was left by mistake by one of the passengers in a hurry to transplant.
Minimization of inconvenience for passengers
During the incident, the airport employees organized the movement of passengers to safe zones, provided all the necessary information and provided a comfortable expectation. In places of waiting, cold drinks and light snacks were temporarily heard to compensate for the delay.
Many travelers noted a high level of training and politeness of staff. People with understanding reacted to the need for emergency measures.

A reminder of the rules of behavior at the airport
The police and the airport administration called on all passengers to be attentive to their personal things. Even an accidentally left luggage can cause serious failures in the work of terminals and flight delay.
After checking and clarifying the circumstances, the identity of the owner of the bag was established. It turned out to be a passenger who made a transplant, who, apparently, in carelessness left one of his bags in the waiting area.
