by editor

EuroAirport, located on the French-German-Swiss border, was evacuated and flights suspended Friday morning following a bomb threat.

Located near Basel (Switzerland), Mulhouse (France), and Freiburg (Germany), the airport was cleared after a bomb threat, EuroAirport confirmed to POLITICO.

Alarm had been raised over an Air France flight headed to Paris, Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera reported.

France is on high alert for security threats as Paris enters Olympics opening weekend.

Friday morning, hundreds of thousands of travelers were hit by train delays and cancellations following what authorities described as “coordinated attacks of malicious intent.”

The airport has since reopened and flights are gradually resuming, although many have been canceled.
