“There was a small fire on a construction site, not inside the building.”
“Everything is under control,” she added, noting that the evacuation only affected the domestic jetty.
Passengers and employees were evacuated from the airport for 25 — 30 minutes, during which time all domestic flights were suspended.
Lepage confirmed that just one flight was cancelled as a result of the evacuation.
