Event

Flight disruptions are possible at Kirkenes International Airport (KKN) on July 23 after authorities evacuated the facility as a precaution due to the discovery of possible explosives in checked-in luggage. Delays could persist for several hours after authorities give the all-clear as the airport allows passengers back into the facility, requiring them to pass through security checkpoints again.

Once the evacuation order is rescinded, lingering disruptions are possible while authorities clear any possible backlog of flights.
