Passengers were evacuated from East Midlands Airport on Tuesday morning after security equipment flagged a concern with a checked-in item of luggage.
The terminal at the Castle Donington airport was cleared at about 9:30am as a precaution while checks were carried out.
Some passengers were left waiting airside during the evacuation, which affected normal airport operations for around 90 minutes.
In an update issued at around 11am, an East Midlands Airport spokesperson said investigations had been completed and there was no risk to passengers or staff.
The spokesperson said: “As a precautionary measure, we evacuated our terminal this morning after our security screening equipment highlighted a concern with a checked-in item of luggage.
“Investigations have now concluded that there is no risk and we are resuming normal operations, with passengers re-entering the terminal.”
The airport apologised for any inconvenience caused and said the safety of customers and staff remained its “number one priority”.
Normal operations were being resumed following the conclusion of the security checks.
