Dunedin Airport has reopened after the Defence Force 'neutralised' a hoax object on the airfield.
A police spokeswoman said diversions had been set up near the airport after a report of a suspicious package was made at 8.10pm.
Details remain scarce, but it was reportedly found in an out building at Dunedin Airport.
A source contacted the Otago Daily Times saying a "suspicious bag" had been seen in a navigation out building.
The airport was closed and staff were sent home, the person said.
