Manchester Airport Terminal Two has been evacuated after a suspicious bag was found unattended.
A bomb squad rushed to the scene to conduct a controlled explosion while passengers were left stuck on planes while the evacuation took place.
Police said it was a precautionary measure and not connected to the bombing of the Manchester Arena which killed 22 almost three weeks ago.
In the recent past, Britian has witnessed string of terrorist attacks.
On June 4, three knife-wielding attackers, wearing fake suicide vests, unleashed a terror rampage through central London, driving a high-speed van into pedestrians on the iconic London Bridge before stabbing revellers in a nearby market, killing seven people and injuring 48.
On June 8, a suicide bomber, Salman Abedi, targeted a Manchester concert on May 22, killing 22 people.
On March 22, six people died, including the attacker, and at least 50 people were injured in an attack near the Houses of Parliament.
