Billund Airport, Denmark's second-largest aviation hub, was evacuated and closed on Saturday after a bomb threat led to the arrest of a man, according to a police statement. The airport, located in central western Denmark, remains shut as investigations into the threat continue.

Police Inspector Michael Weiss commended travelers for their cooperation during the evacuation, noting that the process went smoothly without any unexpected incidents. The calm response from passengers helped ensure a safe and orderly evacuation, allowing authorities to focus on addressing the potential threat.

While police continue to investigate, it's unclear when Billund Airport will reopen. Authorities are working to assess the situation and determine the appropriate course of action to ensure the safety of all travelers and airport personnel. Passengers are advised to stay updated on the airport's status through official channels while police work to resolve the situation.
