Police were called to the Calgary airport on Monday afternoon after a suspicious package was found by an officer outside the departure level.

Emergency crews and the tactical team were called to the scene and police shut down roads in and out of the departure and arrival areas.

The package was discovered by an officer on the roadway at about 5:10 p.m. and the incident caused a few flight delays.

Just before 6:30, police tweeted that the situation had been resolved and the area was being reopened to travellers.
