"Airport operations disrupted, causing flight hold-ups bound for Almaty"
Airport's Short-Lived Snafu:
At Almaty Airport, folks found themselves scrambling out of the "sterile" zone, a zone reserved for departing passengers post-security screening. Videos of this unusual scenario have gone viral, our correspondent reports.
Contrary to the online buzz, the airport's press service indicates a minor hiccup in their access control system affecting the arrival zone of domestic flights on May 5, 2025.
Passengers found themselves mingling for a short while due to this technical glitch.
"Following the established security protocol, passengers underwent a repeat screening. These measures were swiftly implemented and caused minimal disruption to the overall schedule. Typical delays didn't surpass 25 minutes," the press service stated.
As of now, the airport operates smoothly, and its staff has expressed sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.
It's worth mentioning that earlier incidents, like the airport's glitch in the registration system, spurred debate. Speculation ran wild, suggesting servers somehow located in Turkey were behind it. However, the Kazakhstan Civil Aviation Authority (KGA) put such rumors to rest, clarifying the issue was an internal matter.
