What happens during an evacuation?

An airport evacuation is a serious procedure designed to protect people from potential threats. When a security scare like the one at BER occurs, authorities quickly clear the area, often using pre-planned routes and emergency services. The goal is to ensure everyone's safety while police investigate, leading to delays and disruption for travellers.
