MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Geneva airport remained opened Wednesday, with longer check-in time, airport authority’s spokesman Bertrand Staempfli told Sputnik after reports of a possible security threat.
Additional security checks were put in place at the airport earlier today after Swiss police reportedly received an anonymous call.
"I can tell you that the airport is open, the passengers just have to arrive a little bit earlier than normally," Staempfli said.
Airport authorities advised passengers to allow more time for checking-in. Geneva police press officer Silvain Guillaume-Gentil confirmed to Sputnik that the information they had received prompted them to step up the already-tight security measures for "an indefinite period."
