One person arrested at Amsterdam airport

Officials said Wednesday morning that Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport is fully operational again, hours after a section of the main terminal was cordoned off by police.

"We had a call about a situation," Amsterdam police spokesman Alfred Ellwanger said.

It was unclear what caused the security presence, but Tuesday night, airport officials wrote that part of the airport "is not accessible due to an incident.

Ellwanger said one person was arrested at the airport.

Another arrest was made at Leiden Centraal Station, about a 20-minute train ride from the airport, said Lodewijk Hekking, a spokesman for the Ministry of Justice and Security in Holland. It is unclear if the two arrests were related.

About two hours after the airport's tweet, officials wrote: "All areas are accessible again. Tomorrow, flights will run as usual. "

Air traffic wasn't affected on Tuesday either, officials said.

Police presence

A witness told CNN that armed police had cordoned off an area in the main terminal near the Departures 1 area.

"Everyone is remaining calm. Shops were evacuated," Tony Fonderson said.

Another witness said he doesn't know what happened, but people around him started running while he was in a shuttle bay. Victor Pascual said many people were stranded outside the terminal.

"We have not been give any further information apart from to remain calm," he added.
