Melbourne Airport shut down briefly early Wednesday after a bomb threat report, according to police. The incident began around 4:19 a.m. when officers received a call from a man claiming devices had been placed in the airport about 40 minutes earlier. The caller did not specify a location within the facility. Airport authority police conducted a threat assessment and evacuated the terminal as a precaution. Officers searched the terminal, ramp areas, and aircraft at gates but found no devices during the investigation. Airport operations resumed around 6:30 a.m., with normal activity resuming after the closure. The airport authority did not immediately release details about the caller or follow-up actions. The incident disrupted early morning flights but did not result in injuries or delays beyond the temporary shutdown. Airport officials emphasized safety protocols were followed, and no threats were confirmed during the search. The terminal reopened with no reported issues, and travelers were allowed to resume their journeys by mid-morning. The police department is reviewing the call and investigating the circumstances surrounding the reported threat.
