NATIONAL NEWS - Management at OR Tambo International says operations have returned to normal following an evacuation.
Earlier on Monday, police and the canine unit were called in to investigate after airport security discovered an unattended bag.
Although the airport's Leigh Gunkel-Keuler couldn’t confirm whether flights were missed during the police operation, she says the timetable is running normally.
“We’ve returned to op-normal which means business as usual. So, people are back in the airport terminal building.”
However, she says because of Monday morning's probe, travellers are advised to anticipate slight delays.
