Milan’s Malpensa Airport partially evacuated following an incident where a man allegedly set fire to a check-in area. Video footage shared on social media depicts scenes of chaos in Terminal 1 as flames are seen at one of the check-in desks. The individual was observed damaging digital screens before being apprehended by authorities.
According to the Lombardy Airports Association, the situation has since been controlled, and a suspect has been arrested. Despite the resolution of the incident, the association has indicated that travelers may experience delays and cancellations to departures at this busy airport, which is a popular travel hub for tourists, particularly from the UK.
What are the broader impacts of such events on airport security and passenger safety?
