Security breach at Lisbon Airport: Passengers reach departures without security clearance; PSP deployed

Four passengers accessed the departures area from the arrivals zone by opening an unauthorized emergency door at Terminal 1 on Tuesday morning. The PSP temporarily closed the 'Non-Schengen' departures border control to restore security conditions before resuming normal operations.

Why it matters

This security breach caused temporary operational disruption at Lisbon Airport's non-Schengen departures; if you are flying today, check with your airline for any lingering flight delays caused by the police intervention.
