Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport has been partially locked down, as armed police converge on a parked airplane. An entire section of departure gates has been reportedly sealed off.
Dutch gendarmerie announced on Wednesday evening that they were investigating a “suspicious situation” aboard a plane at the Netherlands’ main airport. As armed officers descended on the plane, the airport’s ‘D’ departure gates were cordoned off with police tape and travelers left stranded.
Photos shared on social media supposedly show the departure area completely empty and closed behind police tape.
