This is the second time the airport has been forced to shut down for a police investigation in a little over a month.

St. John’s International Airport has suspended all flight activity after a bomb threat was called in early Jan. 12.

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC), which is investigating the credibility of the bomb threat, is asking travellers to avoid the terminal, which has been evacuated while the investigation is underway.

“The investigation into the validity of the information is in its preliminary stages,” the RNC said in a social media post. “Updates will be provided when information becomes available.”

St. John’s Airport, in a Jan. 12 post on X, said passengers seeking information about the status of their flight “should check with their airline.”

The Epoch Times has reached out to airport officials and the RNC for additional comment.

This is the second time the airport has been forced to shut down for a police investigation in a little over a month. The airport was closed briefly in early December so police could investigate a suspicious package. The RNC’s X account noted that patrol officers initially took control of the situation, and then used a specialized unit to make the area safe. The incident turned out to be a false alarm.
