✅ The earlier security alert has now been resolved and cleared by police. The South Terminal is reopening to staff and will be open to passengers shortly.
Trains will also start calling at Gatwick Airport once the terminal is fully reopened. We would like to thank everyone for… pic.twitter.com/yNseHHBPmR

Arrived at London Gatwick for routine connection. Got through customs to find out they're evacuating the entire airport. Even people through security are being taken outside. Trains shut down and 1000's of all over the streets and carparks waiting. pic.twitter.com/igXDpt9aQL

美國駐英大使館確認,當局正在調查建築物外的一個「可疑包裹」。使館在X平台上發文補充指,警方謹慎行事,已關閉附近的一條道路。
We can confirm that the 'loud bang' reported in the area a short time ago was a controlled explosion carried out by officers.
Enquiries are still ongoing and cordons will remain in place for the time being.
